Brand We Carry
An SKF double row angular contact ball bearing does the job of two single row bearings set face to face, in one body that is narrower than the pair. It takes radial load, axial load in both directions and tilting moments. Our catalog covers the 32 and 33 series, open or capped. These bearings get a page of their own because you order and mount them differently from single row bearings.

Take 3206 A: the first two digits give the series and the last two the bore size. At the same bore, a 33 series bearing has a heavier cross section than a 32. The A after the number belongs to the designation on nearly the whole line, so keep it when you copy the part number.
After that come the blocks that separate one execution from the next. 3205 A-2Z and 3204 A-2RS1 add a block after a hyphen. 3206 A/C3 is the basic 3206 A plus a block after the slash, and 3200 ATN9 has letters joined to the A. Every one of these combinations is a separate part number in the catalog, even when the bore, outside diameter and width are the same.
You find this bearing where one support has to hold the shaft in place in both directions: pumps, small gearboxes, tensioner pulleys, wheels and fans. If the parts list calls for two single row bearings back to back, check the housing width and how the assembly is adjusted before you swap in a double row bearing.
It tolerates very little misalignment between shaft and housing. If the old one failed with crossed marks on the raceways, check how the seats line up before you fit the new one. Replacing it with a deep groove ball bearing of the same bore and outside diameter is not a good idea either: the width differs and the axial capacity is far lower.
Send the full designation, including the blocks after the number, and the quantity. If you can't read it, measure the bore, outside diameter and width; the width is what tells it apart from a deep groove ball bearing with the same bore and outside diameter. Let us know whether it was open or capped, what machine it runs in and how that point is lubricated. If the equipment has a parts list, the item number helps us confirm the part number.
No, they are separate part numbers. Order the block shown on the bearing you removed or on the parts list.
Only if the housing has the width and the adjustment arrangement that setup needs. Check that first.
No. At the same bore, the outside diameter and the width are different.

SKF double row angular contact bearings are engineered to manage radial and axial loads simultaneously in both directions. With two rows of balls and inclined raceways, they also accommodate tilting moments, making them suitable for applications that demand high rigidity and precision. Their compact design integrates two single row bearings into one unit, which simplifies mounting and saves axial space.
Double row angular contact bearings are built to carry radial and axial loads in both directions. With two rows of balls running on inclined raceways, they also handle tilting moments, which makes them a good fit where rigidity and precision matter. MR Industrial Accessories supplies SKF bearings to maintenance and purchasing teams across the United States and Latin America.

SKF double row angular contact bearings carry radial and axial loads in both directions thanks to their two ball rows. The design keeps the bearing compact and rigid, which suits precision applications where space is limited. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this SKF line to customers in the United States and several Latin American countries.
