Product Overview: The 7306 Angular Contact Ball Bearing
The 7306 bearing is a high-precision, single-row Angular Contact Ball Bearing designed for applications demanding high speed and superior axial and radial load support. With standard dimensions of 30x72x19mm (Bore x Outer Diameter x Thickness), this bearing is a key component in a wide variety of industrial machinery. Its design features a specific contact angle, enabling it to accommodate significant axial loads in one direction, combined with radial loads. The 7306 is part of the versatile 7300 Series, known for its robustness and high performance. For applications requiring support for bidirectional axial loads, these bearings are typically mounted in pairs.
