Product Overview: The 7326 Angular Contact Ball Bearing
The 7326 bearing is a high-precision, single-row angular contact ball bearing designed to handle substantial axial and radial loads simultaneously. As a key component in our 7300 Series, this bearing is engineered with a standard 40-degree contact angle, which provides high axial stiffness and load-carrying capacity in one direction. It is an essential part for applications demanding high rotational accuracy and speed under heavy loads.
Manufactured to exacting industry standards from high-quality bearing steel, the 7326 ensures reliability and a long service life in demanding industrial environments. Its design makes it suitable for mounting in pairs—in back-to-back, face-to-face, or tandem arrangements—to accommodate combined loads and provide precise shaft guidance. Explore our complete range of Angular Contact Ball Bearings to find the optimal solution for your machinery.
