SKF BGBM angular contact bearings are engineered to handle radial and axial loads acting in one direction. Their raceway geometry provides high rigidity and load capacity, making them a fit for equipment that runs at moderate to high speeds, including pumps, compressors and power transmission systems. These bearings are part of the SKF line we supply to maintenance and purchasing teams across the United States and Latin America.
The BGBM code covers a specific group within the SKF angular contact family. Take part numbers like 7408 BGBM and 7410 BGBM: the leading digits relate to the size and dimension series, while the BGBM suffix points to design details such as the contact angle and cage configuration. Reading the designation this way helps you match the bearing to the application before you order.
You will find these bearings in centrifugal pumps, screw compressors, gearboxes, industrial fans and machine tool spindles, across food processing, chemical, petrochemical and general manufacturing operations. Because they take axial load in a single direction, they suit arrangements where axial clearance needs to be controlled and rotational accuracy is important.
When selecting, consider whether the bearing is open or sealed based on contamination risks. Internal clearance and lubrication also matter: correct lubrication supports service life. Shaft and housing alignment should be precise to prevent extra loads. In paired setups, follow the recommended arrangement and preload.
For replacements, SKF angular contact bearings can be interchanged with other brands that share the same standard dimensions, such as FAG, NSK or NTN, as long as tolerances and contact angle are checked. If you are replacing an existing bearing, send us the code and we will help you find a suitable option from our SKF line.
To request a quote or get technical advice, message the complete bearing code to our team via WhatsApp or email. We help you identify the right product and answer questions about mounting and maintenance, and we reply promptly.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the BGBM suffix indicate on an SKF bearing?
- The BGBM suffix identifies design features of the angular contact bearing, including the contact angle and cage type. For exact details on a specific reference, share the full designation and we will advise you.
- Do these bearings support axial loads in both directions?
- No, single row angular contact bearings handle axial loads in one direction only. To manage axial loads in both directions, they must be mounted in pairs or replaced with double row bearings. Contact us to select the right configuration.
- How can I tell if an SKF BGBM bearing will replace one from another brand?
- Compare the bore, outer diameter and width, and verify the contact angle. If these match the standard dimensions, interchange is possible. Send us the original bearing code and we will confirm the equivalence with our SKF line.
