The 7204 BECBJ is a single-row angular contact ball bearing manufactured by SKF, designed to support combined loads (both radial and axial) while providing high precision and rigidity.
The suffix BECBJ indicates:
-
B → 40° contact angle (optimal for high axial loads)
-
E → Optimized internal design for enhanced performance
-
CB → Normal internal clearance
-
J → Pressed steel cage, ball-centered
This bearing is ideal for high-speed applications where rotational accuracy, durability, and stability are critical, such as machine tool spindles, compressors, precision electric motors, and robotics.
