NACHI 7230B Angular Contact Ball Bearing

NACHI 7230B Angular Contact Ball Bearing

The NACHI 7230B is a precision single-row angular contact ball bearing designed to carry combined radial and axial loads simultaneously. With a bore diameter of 150 mm, outer diameter of 270 mm, and a width of 45 mm, this bearing conforms to ISO dimension standards and is a direct interchange for equivalent angular contact bearings from other manufacturers.

Design & Construction

Manufactured by NACHI – one of Japan’s leading bearing producers – the 7230B is precision-ground from high-carbon chromium bearing steel (AISI 52100 / JIS SUJ2), heat-treated to achieve optimum hardness and fatigue resistance. The raceways are offset in the inner and outer rings to create an angular contact geometry that enables the bearing to support axial loads in one direction in addition to radial loads. The 40-degree contact angle (B type) increases axial load-carrying capacity, making it the preferred choice for applications with heavy thrust loads or combined loads where the axial component is significant.

Performance

Rated for a basic dynamic load capacity of 223.0 kN and a static load capacity of 246.0 kN, this bearing delivers dependable load-carrying ability and long calculated service life under correct operating conditions. Permissible speeds reach 1,800 rpm with grease lubrication and 2,600 rpm with oil lubrication, making it well suited to high-speed rotating equipment. Angular contact ball bearings may be mounted singly for combined loads, or in matched pairs (back-to-back DB, face-to-face DF, or tandem DT arrangements) for increased rigidity and bi-directional axial load support.
