SKF 7318 BECBP Angular Contact Ball Bearing

The SKF 7318 BECBP 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 7318 BECBP, this bearing features 90 mm bore (d), 190 mm outer diameter (D), and 43 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 (polyamide 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 168 kN and a basic static load rating (C0) of approximately 146 kN, with a reference rotational speed of around 4000 r/min depending on lubrication and mounting conditions.

The 7318 BECBP 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 7318 BECBP is widely specified for rotating equipment at facilities such as SABIC (Jubail petrochemical compressor trains) 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.

Razz Middle East supplies the 7318 BECBP and a full range of associated SKF bearings, seals, lubricants and mounting tools for supply across Saudi Arabia. From our distribution network we provide delivery to the Eastern Province industrial corridor including Jubail and Dammam, as well as Riyadh, Jeddah and Yanbu, typically within 2 to 3 weeks as an indent order, delivered duty-paid. Our technical team can assist with bearing selection, interchange cross-referencing to NSK, FAG/Schaeffler and Timken equivalents, failure analysis and condition-monitoring recommendations.
