Product Overview: The 7316 Angular Contact Ball Bearing
The 7316 Angular Contact Ball Bearing is a high-precision component designed to accommodate combined radial and axial loads simultaneously. With principal dimensions of 80mm bore diameter, 170mm outer diameter, and 39mm thickness, this bearing is part of the versatile 7300 Series. Its design features raceways in the inner and outer rings that are displaced relative to each other along the bearing axis. This configuration, typically with a 40-degree contact angle, makes it ideal for applications requiring high rigidity and excellent axial load-carrying capacity in one direction. For comprehensive load management, these bearings are often mounted in pairs.
As a specialist in industrial components, we provide 7316 bearings manufactured to the highest industry standards, ensuring reliable performance in high-speed and high-precision machinery.
