7216 BWG NSK Single Row Angular Contact Ball Bearing 80mm x 140mm x 26mm
7216 BWG NSK Single Row Angular Contact Ball Bearing
The 7216 BWG is a precision single row angular contact ball bearing from NSK, engineered to deliver reliable performance in demanding applications requiring simultaneous radial and axial load capacity. With an 80mm bore and 140mm outer diameter, this compact bearing combines robust construction with precision engineering, making it ideal for high-speed machinery and industrial equipment.
Key Features:
- 40° contact angle for optimised load distribution and axial load capacity
- Single row design accommodating axial loads in one direction
- Steel cage for reliable ball guidance and retention
- Versatile bearing pair configuration with low axial clearance suitable for O-arrangement (back-to-back) and X-arrangement (face-to-face) mounting
- Open bearing design without seals for applications where lubrication management is preferred
- Normal radial clearance for standard industrial applications
- Compact and rigid construction with excellent load-carrying capability

Design & Performance:
Angular contact ball bearings feature angularly displaced raceways on both inner and outer rings, enabling them to handle combined radial and axial loads acting simultaneously. The NSK 7216 BWG is particularly suited for paired bearing arrangements, delivering exceptional rigidity and precision for demanding applications. The low axial clearance in paired configurations ensures stable, predictable performance under varying load conditions.
Ideal Applications:
- Machine tool spindles and precision equipment
- Gearboxes and transmission systems
- Electric motor shafts
- Industrial pump applications
- Heavy-duty equipment requiring paired bearing configurations
- High-speed rotating machinery
- Automotive and industrial drive systems
The 7216 BWG delivers proven NSK quality and reliability for applications requiring both radial and axial load support at moderate to high speeds, with the flexibility to be configured as a bearing pair for enhanced load capacity and directional stability.
