Decoding SKF 7308 BE-2RZP/GWF
- 73Series
- Angular contact ball bearings, 73 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 08Bore
- Bore 40 mm (08 × 5).
- BE-2RZP/GWFSuffix
- SKF suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
7308 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description
SKF 7308 BE-2RZP/GWF measures 40 mm across the bore and 90 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 23 mm (40 x 90 x 23 mm).

SKF BE-2RZP/GWF angular contact bearings are built to handle combined radial and axial loads in a single direction. They come with low-friction seals and are pre-greased with a high-temperature lubricant. This makes them a common choice for electric motors, pumps and industrial fans where precision and dependable operation matter. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this SKF line and can help you select the right bearing for your equipment.
Reading the code helps you identify what you are getting. The BE prefix points to an angular contact design with a 40° contact angle and improved load capacity. The 2RZP suffix means two low-friction RZ seals and a polyamide cage. GWF tells you the bearing is factory-lubricated with high-temperature grease for high-speed running. In examples like 7306 BE-2RZP/GWF or 7308 BE-2RZP/GWF, the numeric part relates to the bore diameter according to the code, while the suffixes carry the rest of the features.
These bearings show up in medium and large electric motors, centrifugal pumps, fans, compressors and gearboxes. You will also find them in power transmission setups, machine tools and conveyor systems. Because they take axial loads in one direction, they suit arrangements where the shaft needs to be located axially. Industries such as food, chemical, petrochemical and steel often choose them for their robustness in high-temperature environments.
When selecting an angular contact bearing, look at load magnitude and direction, rotation speed and the surrounding conditions. The 2RZP seals keep contaminants out and hold the grease in, but check that the operating temperature does not exceed what the GWF grease can handle. During mounting, align the rings carefully and apply the correct preload; poor mounting leads to early failures. The bearing arrives lubricated, yet under severe conditions you should ask about relubrication. Clean the seat and use the right tools for a successful installation.
Interchangeability is not straightforward. Other manufacturers offer angular contact bearings with similar suffixes, but the designations are not universal. Each brand has its own codes for sealing, cage, lubrication and tolerances. When replacing a bearing, do not rely on dimensions alone; factor in the operating conditions and suffix details. If you need an alternative, verify the technical specifications and speak with a specialist. MR Industrial Accessories can help you find the right replacement among the brands we supply.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 7308 BE-2RZP/GWF bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 7308 BE-2RZP/GWF measures 40 mm across the bore and 90 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 23 mm (40 x 90 x 23 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 7308.
- What does the GWF suffix mean on an SKF bearing?
- GWF indicates that the bearing is factory-lubricated with a special grease for high temperatures and high speed. This grease allows operation under demanding conditions without immediate relubrication.
- Can this bearing handle axial loads in both directions?
- No. Single row angular contact bearings support axial loads in one direction only. For both directions, mount two bearings in opposition or choose another bearing type.
- How do I know if I can replace an SKF bearing with another brand?
- Compare not only dimensions but also sealing, cage, lubrication and tolerance. Designations vary between manufacturers, so verify the technical specifications before replacing.
