Product Overview: The 7217 Angular Contact Ball Bearing
The 7217 bearing is a high-precision, single-row angular contact ball bearing designed to accommodate combined radial and axial loads simultaneously. With principal dimensions of 85mm bore diameter, 150mm outer diameter, and 28mm thickness, it is a critical component for applications requiring high rotational accuracy and speed. Part of our 7200 Series, this bearing features a specific contact angle that enables it to sustain significant axial loads in one direction. Its design makes it ideal for arrangements where rigid axial guidance is necessary.
As a leading supplier of industrial components, we provide 7217 bearings manufactured to the highest industry standards. These bearings are essential for the smooth and efficient operation of high-performance machinery. When mounted in pairs, they can handle axial loads in both directions, providing a rigid and precise bearing arrangement.
