SKF 7308 BEGAP Angular Contact Ball Bearing

The SKF 7308 BEGAP Angular Contact Ball Bearing is a precision single-row angular contact ball bearing manufactured by SKF, the world's leading rolling bearing producer founded in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1907. Designated 7308 BEGAP, this bearing features 40 mm bore (d), 90 mm outer diameter (D), and 23 mm width (B), giving it a compact yet robust geometry suited to heavy-duty industrial rotating equipment. As a single-row angular contact bearing with a 40-degree contact angle (brass cage), it supports combined radial and axial loads in one direction and is typically mounted in pairs back-to-back or face-to-face. It carries a basic dynamic load rating (C) of approximately 49.4 kN and a basic static load rating (C0) of approximately 33.5 kN, with a reference rotational speed of around 9000 r/min depending on lubrication and mounting conditions.

The 7308 BEGAP is engineered with SKF's high-grade chrome steel raceways, precision-ground rolling elements and optimised internal geometry to reduce friction, running temperature and noise. This makes it particularly well suited to the demanding thermal conditions of the Saudi Arabian climate, where ambient temperatures regularly exceed 50 degrees Celsius and airborne dust and sand place severe demands on sealing and lubrication. SKF's seal and clearance options help maintain a clean lubricant film, extending grease life and reducing unplanned downtime in desert and coastal Eastern Province environments where humidity and salt-laden air accelerate corrosion.

In Saudi industry the 7308 BEGAP is widely specified for rotating equipment at facilities such as NWC (Riyadh water transmission pumping stations) and MAADEN (Ras Al-Khair phosphate processing). Typical duties include electric motors, pumps, fans, gearboxes, compressors and conveyor systems across the oil and gas, petrochemical, desalination, power generation and mining sectors. SKF bearings are accepted on major Saudi approved vendor lists including the Saudi Aramco AVL, and are SASO compliant for use throughout the Kingdom.
