Product Overview: The 7218 Angular Contact Ball Bearing
The 7218 bearing is a high-performance component within our 7200 Series Angular Contact Ball Bearings. This single-row bearing is specifically engineered to accommodate high axial loads in one direction, in addition to radial loads. Its design features a specific contact angle, which allows it to handle these combined forces efficiently, providing excellent rigidity and accuracy for the shaft guidance system.
As a crucial part of our comprehensive range of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, the 7218 bearing is manufactured to stringent industry standards. It is particularly well-suited for applications requiring high speed and precise rotational control where loads are both radial and axial. For optimal performance and to handle axial loads in both directions or increased radial load capacity, these bearings are often used in arrangements of two or more, such as back-to-back, face-to-face, or tandem configurations. Explore our full selection of angular contact ball bearings to ensure superior operational efficiency in your machinery.
