Overview
The 7205 is a single row angular contact ball bearing with a 25 mm bore, 52 mm outer diameter and 15 mm width. The line of action through the balls is offset from the radial plane, so the bearing carries combined radial and axial load. A single row bearing takes axial load in one direction only, so it is normally mounted opposed by a second bearing.
Contact angle selection
The same 7205 envelope is produced with different contact angles, and the angle determines what the bearing can do. A 15 degree version suits high speed with light axial load. A 25 degree version is the general-purpose compromise for machine tools and pumps. A 40 degree version carries the highest axial load at moderate speed. Specify the angle when ordering, because the designation suffix differs between makers.
Arrangements
Back-to-back (DB) gives the highest resistance to tilting moments and suits spindles and gearbox shafts. Face-to-face (DF) tolerates more misalignment and has lower moment rigidity. Tandem (DT) doubles axial capacity in one direction. Matched pairs are supplied with light, medium or heavy preload.
Typical applications
- Machine tool spindles
- Centrifugal and screw pumps
- Gearbox and reducer shafts
- Compressors
- Automotive driveline components

Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of a 7205 bearing?
A 7205 angular contact ball bearing has a 25 mm bore, 52 mm outer diameter and 15 mm width.
Can a single 7205 carry axial load in both directions?
No. A single row bearing takes axial load in one direction only. Use a pair in DB or DF arrangement, or a double row bearing, when thrust can reverse.
