Decoding NSK 7202 AW
- 72Series
- Angular contact ball bearings, 72 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 02Bore
- Bore 15 mm: by standard, 02 designates 15 mm.
- AWSuffix
- NSK suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
7202 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description
NSK 7202 AW measures 15 mm across the bore and 35 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 11 mm (15 x 35 x 11 mm).

Angular contact ball bearings in the NSK AW series are built to carry radial and axial loads together, with the axial component acting in one direction. The contact angle gives them higher rigidity and higher speed capability than a deep groove ball bearing. Machine tool spindles, pumps, compressors and gearboxes are common homes for this type of bearing. MR Industrial Accessories supplies the AW series to customers in the United States and Latin America.
Reading the code helps you order the right size. In a designation such as 7000 AW, the first two digits of the size number relate to the bore through a code, so 70 corresponds to a 10 mm bore. The AW suffix identifies a polyamide cage reinforced with fiberglass, which suits high speeds and moderate temperatures. The same series covers sizes such as 7000 AW, 7002 AW and 7013 AW, so the size number is what changes from one reference to the next.
Because these bearings take axial load in a single direction, they are often mounted in pairs so that the two directions are covered. Typical installations include milling machine and lathe spindles, centrifugal pumps, screw compressors, gearboxes and power transmission equipment. Metalworking, food processing, petrochemical and automotive plants are among the sectors that use them.
Selection comes down to three points: which way the axial load acts, how fast the shaft turns, and what the surrounding environment is like. Mounting calls for careful alignment and, in many cases, controlled axial adjustment to set internal clearance. Grease or oil can be used for lubrication, with oil preferred at high speeds. The sealing arrangement follows the level of contamination present. Our team can review these points with you and recommend a suitable option.
Bearings of this type from other manufacturers can often be used in place of an NSK AW unit when the dimensions and contact angle agree. Suffixes are where the risk lies, since the AW designation does not have an identical meaning in every nomenclature, and tolerances and clearance still have to be checked. If you only have another brand's code, send it over and we will help you locate the matching reference.

Frequently asked questions
- NSK 7202 AW bearing: what are its dimensions?
- NSK 7202 AW measures 15 mm across the bore and 35 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 11 mm (15 x 35 x 11 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 7202.
- What does the AW suffix indicate on an NSK bearing?
- It identifies a polyamide cage reinforced with fiberglass, intended for high speeds and moderate temperatures. Operating conditions should be checked before confirming the choice.
- When should I use an angular contact bearing instead of a deep groove ball bearing?
- An angular contact bearing handles axial load in one direction and provides greater rigidity. A deep groove ball bearing is meant mainly for radial load. The load combination and the precision required decide which one fits.
- Can an NSK AW bearing replace one from another brand?
- It can when the dimensions and contact angle match. Send us the code of the original part by WhatsApp or email and we will help you find the corresponding option.
