What is the equivalent of a 7205A bearing?

The 7205A is a 25×52×15mm angular contact ball bearing with verified equivalents across multiple brands: NSK 7205A, Timken 7205, FAG 7205-B-TVP, SKF 7205 BEP. All equivalents share the same bore, outer diameter, width, and load ratings.

What are the dimensions of a 7205A bearing?

The 7205A bearing has a bore diameter of 25mm, outer diameter of 52mm, and width of 15mm. It has a dynamic load rating of 14 kN, static load rating of 8.67 kN, and weighs 130g. Maximum speed with grease lubrication is 12,000 rpm.

Can I replace a NTN 7205A with a NSK equivalent?

Yes. NTN and NSK bearings with the same ISO designation are dimensionally interchangeable. The 7205A (25×52×15mm) can be replaced with the equivalent NSK part number as long as the seal type (open) and clearance class (CN) match. Always verify load ratings and speed limits for your specific application.
