SKF Series BA Thrust Ball Bearing, 7mm Inside Diameter, 17mm Outside Diameter - BA 7


This thrust ball bearing provides axial load support in Compact assemblies and is designed for rotational applications where thrust-only loading occurs. It is suited to systems requiring a low-profile bearing that locates and supports axial forces while permitting relative rotation between components.

Features & Benefits


• Ground bore improves seating accuracy and alignment
• Sheet metal cage reduces friction and limits edge wear
• High permissible speed allows operation up to 19,000 rpm
• Dynamic capacity 2.51 kN enhances transient load handling
• Static capacity 2.9 kN supports sustained axial loads

**Applications**


• Suitable for precision rotary actuators in automation equipment
• Ideal for small electric motors in control panels
• Used with bearing housings in miniature gearboxes
• Can be used for axial positioning in optical devices

What material considerations affect thermal behaviour during high-speed use?


The thin metallic cage offers good thermal conductivity and low mass, which helps dissipate heat generated at elevated speeds and reduces centrifugal distortion compared with heavier cage types.

How should the bearing be mounted to achieve optimal axial alignment?


Use an accurately machined shaft shoulder and housing face, ensuring the ground bore is pressed or located to maintain concentricity and prevent misalignment under axial load.

What lubrication regime suits sustained operation at high rpm?


A light, high-speed grease or oil film that resists shear thinning is appropriate to maintain film thickness and minimise torque at 19,000 rpm.

How does the single-row configuration influence load distribution?


The single-row arrangement concentrates axial loads along one raceway, simplifying axial positioning but requiring correct preload and seating to prevent uneven stress.
