7206 BEP (Angular Contact Ball bearing)
The 7206 BEP is a Angular Contact Ball bearing with boundary dimensions of 30 x 62 x 16 mm (bore x outside diameter x width). It has a basic dynamic load rating of 22 kN and a basic static load rating of 13.4 kN.
Cross-Reference
| Manufacturer | Reference |
|---|---|
| SKF | 7206 BEP |
| Timken | 7206 |
| FAG (Schaeffler) | 7206-B |
Cross-references are matched on the ISO 15 boundary dimensions
(30 x 62 x 16 mm) and bearing type, which is what makes parts interchangeable. The
suffixes (e.g. -2RS, -2Z, -E1) encode seals, shields, and internal design
variants, not the envelope size.

Type & Application Notes
Angular Contact Ball bearings are designed for combined radial and axial loads with a contact angle. The 7206 BEP is commonly found in pumps, compressors, and machine-tool spindles where combined loads occur. Dynamic rating 22 kN sets the load a bearing can carry for a one-million-revolution rating life (L10), while the static rating 13.4 kN governs the maximum load a stationary bearing can withstand without permanent deformation.
Interchange Notes
When substituting the 7206 BEP:
- Match the boundary dimensions (30 x 62 x 16 mm) exactly — this is what guarantees fit.
- Match the bearing type (Angular Contact Ball); mixing roller and ball types changes stiffness, speed limits, and load capacity.
- Match or exceed the dynamic load rating (22 kN) for the intended life.
- Respect the seal/shield suffix the application requires (open, Z, 2Z, RS, or 2RS).
