The SKF BMB-6202/U004A is a single-row thrust ball bearing from the BMB series, built to take axial loads in one direction. It suits equipment that needs precision and load capacity, including gearboxes, pumps, and compressors. Moderate speeds and straightforward mounting are part of its design. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this reference within its specialty bearing range and can help you confirm the right variant.
Reading the code helps you confirm what you are ordering. BMB marks the single-row thrust ball bearing family. The digits after the hyphen describe bore and size following the standard coding. The U004A ending points to an internal execution variant, often tied to cage style or surface treatment. In BMB-6202/U004A, 6202 corresponds to a 15 mm bore and its associated dimensions, while U004A identifies a particular modification. MR can explain how this series is organized.
Typical uses include pumping equipment, industrial fans, gear reducers, and machine tools. You will also find these bearings in power transmission setups that must absorb axial thrust in one direction, such as lathe spindles or presses. Their medium-speed capability makes them a fit for electric motors and reciprocating compressors. MR Industrial Accessories supplies them for replacement work and new projects in food, chemical, and metalworking plants.
Selection comes down to the axial load, the rotation speed, and the space available. Check that the load stays within the capacity of the series and that lubrication matches the duty: grease for slow operation, oil for higher speeds. The support surfaces must be parallel and aligned, because these bearings do not accept angular misalignment. Seals or protective covers also help keep contamination out and support service life.
Interchange with thrust ball bearings from other makers is possible when the main dimensions and execution type line up. Suffixes are not always equivalent, though; a U004A variant may differ in cage or clearance from another brand. Verify the full code and the operating conditions before substituting. SKF bearings are known for quality and reliability, and MR Industrial Accessories carries them in its brand catalog.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the U004A suffix mean in BMB-6202/U004A?
- U004A identifies an internal execution variant of the bearing, which may involve a specific cage type, axial clearance, or surface treatment. Contact our technical team to confirm the exact characteristics of this reference.
- Can this bearing handle misalignment between shaft and housing?
- No. BMB series thrust ball bearings are not made to tolerate angular misalignment. The support surfaces need to be parallel and properly aligned to prevent extra loads and early failures.
- How do I decide between a thrust ball bearing and a roller bearing?
- It depends on the axial load and speed. Thrust ball bearings work well for moderate loads at medium or high speeds; roller bearings are preferred for very high loads at low speeds. Ask us for advice tailored to your case.
