What is the equivalent of a 7304-B-TVP-C3 bearing?

The 7304-B-TVP-C3 is a 20×52×15mm angular contact ball bearing with verified equivalents across multiple brands: NSK 7304A C3E, NTN 7304 C3, SKF 7304 BEP C3, Timken 7304 C3. All equivalents share the same bore, outer diameter, width, and load ratings.

What are the dimensions of a 7304-B-TVP-C3 bearing?

The 7304-B-TVP-C3 bearing has a bore diameter of 20mm, outer diameter of 52mm, and width of 15mm. It has a dynamic load rating of 14.31 kN, static load rating of 6.24 kN, and weighs 89g. Maximum speed with grease lubrication is 11,900 rpm.

Can I replace a FAG 7304-B-TVP-C3 with a NSK equivalent?

Yes. FAG and NSK bearings with the same ISO designation are dimensionally interchangeable. The 7304-B-TVP-C3 (20×52×15mm) can be replaced with the equivalent NSK part number as long as the seal type (open) and clearance class (C3) match. Always verify load ratings and speed limits for your specific application.
