RHP7207TUEP3Precision Angular Contact Ball Bearing 35x72x17 mm 40 Degree Contact Angle Phenolic Cage Universally Ground Set of 2

Product Description

What this part is

A precision single-row angular contact ball bearing in the 7207 size, 35 mm bore × 72 mm outside diameter × 17 mm width, universally ground with a phenolic cage. Supplied as two pieces.

Decoding the designation

7207 — single-row angular contact ball bearing, ISO dimension series 02, 35 mm bore
No angle letter — 40° contact angle in the RHP scheme; a C would indicate 15° and an E 25°
T — phenolic (fabric-laminate) cage
U — universally ground faces, so two or more rings pair in any orientation
EP3 — RHP precision grade above normal class

What these specs mean in practice

A 40° contact angle is the high-thrust end of the angular contact range: it carries substantially more axial load and gives higher axial stiffness than a 15° or 25° bearing of the same size, and in exchange runs at a lower speed ceiling. Universal grinding means two rings mount back-to-back, face-to-face or in tandem and reach a repeatable preload once clamped, without shims. The phenolic cage is light and self-lubricating, which favours high speed and oil-mist lubrication and sets a lower temperature ceiling than a brass or steel cage.

Quantity and configuration

Unit quantity: 2 Pcs
Arrangement: universally ground, pairs back-to-back, face-to-face or in tandem
Rows: 1 per bearing

Fitting notes

Universally ground rings pair in any of the three orientations. Preload comes from the ground faces once the rings are clamped square, so the clamp face is loaded evenly across the ring rather than through shims.

Interchange guidance

Written also as 7207TUEP3, 7207 TU EP3 and 7207-TU-EP3. Other 7207-size bearings carrying a C (15°) or E (25°) angle letter, a DU duplex grind, a brass cage or a different preload class are related parts, not matches.
