Decoding SKF 7315 BEGAM
- 73Series
- Angular contact ball bearings, 73 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 15Bore
- Bore 75 mm (15 × 5).
- BEGAMSuffix
- SKF suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
7315 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description
SKF 7315 BEGAM measures 75 mm across the bore and 160 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 37 mm (75 x 160 x 37 mm).

For equipment that has to handle radial and axial forces at the same time, SKF BEGAM series angular contact bearings are a common choice. These single row bearings have angular contact raceways, which gives them the rigidity and precision needed in machine tool spindles, pumps and gearboxes. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this SKF line and can help you match the right part number to your application.
The part number tells you a lot if you know how to read it. Take 7212 BEGAM: the 7 means it is a single row angular contact bearing, the 2 is the dimension series (medium section in this case), and 12 is the bore code, which you multiply by 5 to get the bore diameter. The BEGAM suffix covers internal details: BE generally indicates a 40° contact angle, GA means reduced axial clearance, and M stands for a machined brass cage. The same pattern applies to 7306 BEGAM or 7313 BEGAM, where the 3 is the series and the last digits change with the bore.
You will find these bearings in lathe and milling spindles, process centrifugal pumps, gearboxes and gear units, screw compressors, and power transmission equipment. They also show up in textile machinery, food processing lines, and anywhere axial rigidity matters. Because they can take load in both directions, they work well in paired arrangements.
Selection depends on the radial and axial load, the speed, and the environment. If contamination is a concern, look at sealed or shielded variants. The internal axial clearance has to suit the application to avoid thermal problems. Grease or oil lubrication is possible, depending on speed and temperature. During mounting, align the housings correctly and apply the specified preload if the design calls for it. Careful mounting helps the bearing reach its expected service life.
SKF angular contact bearings can be interchanged with other brands that use the same dimensional designation, such as series 72 and 73. Keep in mind that contact angle, clearance, and cage may differ between manufacturers, so confirm that the replacement meets your load and speed requirements. MR Industrial Accessories can help you compare options.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF 7315 BEGAM bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF 7315 BEGAM measures 75 mm across the bore and 160 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 37 mm (75 x 160 x 37 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 7315.
- What does the BEGAM suffix mean on an SKF bearing?
- It indicates internal features: BE usually means a 40° contact angle, GA reduced axial clearance, and M a machined brass cage. These letters can change with the exact design, so check the data sheet for the specific part number.
- How do you read the designation 7212 BEGAM?
- The 7 is a single row angular contact bearing, the 2 is the dimension series, and 12 is the bore code that gives 60 mm when multiplied by 5. BEGAM describes contact angle, clearance, and cage type.
- Can I replace an SKF BEGAM bearing with another brand?
- Yes, if the replacement has the same dimensions and load and speed characteristics. Other brands may differ in contact angle, clearance, or cage. Send us the original part number and we will help you find a suitable option.
