Decoding SKF 7217 BEGAP/P5
- 72Series
- Angular contact ball bearings, 72 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 17Bore
- Bore 85 mm (17 × 5).
- BEGAP/P5Suffix
- SKF suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
7217 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description

Angular contact bearings from SKF are built to take on radial and axial loads at the same time. The angled raceway contact lets them hold precision and stiffness where the application calls for it. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line to industrial plants, machine shops and power transmission operations across the United States and Latin America.
Reading the designation tells you most of what you need. Take 7217 BEGAP/P5: the 72 series is the starting point, the letter B sets the contact angle at 40°, EG points to a machined brass cage, and P5 is the precision class per the standard. The AP suffix can signal a particular internal design. Being able to decode each block makes it easier to match the bearing to the job.
Typical settings include metallurgy, cement and paper plants, plus machine tools. Milling machine spindles, centrifugal pumps, compressors and gearboxes are common homes for these bearings. Because they handle axial load in one direction, they suit setups that see steady thrust. Power transmission equipment needing precision and rigidity is another frequent use.
Selection comes down to load size and direction, running speed and the surrounding environment. Sealing and lubrication matter just as much, so pick a lubricant that fits the temperature and speed. During mounting, alignment has to be accurate to keep extra stresses out of the bearing. Internal clearance should also match the thermal expansion the application will produce.
On interchange, SKF angular contact bearings can be swapped with other brands that share the same standardized dimensions and tolerances. Check the full part number and technical data before you replace anything. Series and suffixes drive whether an interchange works, so it pays to have a specialist review it first.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 7217 BEGAP/P5 bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 7217 BEGAP/P5 measures 85 mm across the bore and 150 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 28 mm (85 x 150 x 28 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 7217.
- What does the BEGAP suffix mean on an SKF bearing?
- BEGAP covers design details such as contact angle, cage type and possible treatments. The full designation and the manufacturer's tables are needed to read it correctly. Our team can help you pin down the exact meaning.
- How do I decide between an angular contact bearing and a radial one?
- It depends on the loads involved. Angular contact bearings fit combined loads, while radial types are for loads that are mostly radial. Speed and precision requirements also come into play. Contact us and we will advise you for your application.
- Are there equivalents to SKF bearings from other brands?
- Yes, many SKF bearings have equivalents from other brands built to the same dimensional standards. Differences in materials or treatments can still affect performance. Verify the specifications and consult a specialist before interchanging.
