Air Compressor Bearing Stock & Cross-Reference

Air Compressor Bearing Stock & Cross-Reference

Air Compressor Bearing Stock & Cross-Reference

This page is built for the maintenance engineer holding a stamped number and a stopped machine: compressor bearing grades sourced through our network of roller bearing manufacturer partners and held as ready stock, paired with a working air compressor bearing manufacturer cross-reference so a legacy or superseded part number still converts into a quote on the same working day. The anchor SKU here is BVN-7160, a combined cylindrical roller and angular contact unit measuring 94.9 x 170.2 x 43 mm, weighing 7.00 KG and stated as Made in Austria, with 75 sets on the shelf.

Why Air Compressors Use Combined Bearings

The reason a compressor rotor does not simply run on two ordinary bearings is load direction. Before you compare numbers, it helps to know what the part is being asked to do.

A screw or reciprocating compressor rotor is loaded in two directions at once. The rotor and its gears generate sustained radial force as the shaft spins and the lobes mesh, while discharge pressure and timing-gear thrust push the shaft along its own axis. A single cylindrical roller bearing handles the radial load comfortably but offers almost no axial capacity; a pair of deep groove ball bearings tolerates some thrust but gives up radial stiffness.

The combined design solves this by housing two element types in one envelope. The cylindrical roller row carries the radial load across its line contact, and the angular contact ball row takes the axial load through an angled raceway. Buying them as one unit instead of two separate assemblies removes the need for an extra bearing block, shortens the shaft, and reduces the number of fits and tolerances a maintenance team has to control at rebuild.

Practically, that matters at three points: assembly time at rebuild, the number of spare part numbers a plant must keep on the shelf, and the accuracy with which the rotor sits in its housing. Where a compressor runs near-continuously, bearing replacement is usually the trigger for the whole service window, so a unit that arrives as one pre-set part compresses that window.

Radial load path

The cylindrical roller row carries the sustained radial force created by rotor rotation and gear mesh through full line contact.

Axial load path

The angular contact row takes thrust from discharge pressure and timing gears through its angled raceway geometry.

One housing fit

A combined unit replaces separate bearing blocks, so fewer fits and tolerances need to be controlled during a rebuild.

Fewer part numbers

Stores hold one SKU rather than two matched components, which simplifies procurement and reorder planning.

BVN-7160: The Anchor SKU in Plain Numbers

Everything on this page routes back to one bearing that is confirmed in stock. Here is what a buyer is actually committing to.

BVN-7160 combined compressor bearing showing the cylindrical roller and angular contact assembly
BVN-7160 in the ready-stock range: cylindrical roller plus angular contact ball bearing in one unit for Atlas air compressor applications.

What the SKU covers

BVN-7160 is listed as a cylindrical roller bearing and angular contact ball bearing combined bearing for air compressors. Its application field names Atlas air compressor equipment, and the unit is described as a compact solution for maintenance replacement as well as OEM integration into new rotor and shaft assemblies.

The headline dimension reads 94.9 mm bore, 170.2 mm outer diameter and 43 mm height, with 7.00 KG per unit. The page title and URL express the same envelope as 95 x 170 x 43. That gap is dealt with in the fitment module below, because it changes how you measure a worn part.

Buyer decision

If your application is an Atlas compressor rebuild and the worn part stamps BVN-7160, this is a direct replacement path with 75 sets on hand. If you are specifying for a different compressor brand or a new rotor design, request the drawing confirmation first rather than assuming dimensional interchangeability.

Match Your Situation to the Right Order

Compressor bearing enquiries arrive in four recognisable shapes. Each one needs a different piece of information before a quote can be firm.

Your situation

A machine is down and the bearing is in pieces You have a serial number or an equipment model, but no legible part marking.
The old bearing still carries a readable stamp You can read the number and want the same item back on the shelf quickly.
Your plant holds a legacy number in its spares list The stored number may be superseded and you need to know what replaces it.
You build compressors rather than repair them You are sourcing for new rotor and shaft assemblies on a repeat production schedule.

What to order

Send the equipment model and serial We match against the compressor bearing number list and confirm the candidate SKU, its bore, outer diameter and height before you commit.
Quote the stamped number directly If it reads BVN-7160, stock is 75 sets and the unit is marked ready to ship with fast delivery.
Check the cross-reference block first Superseded pairs such as NP658549 / NP104948 are mapped below so the spare list can be updated in the same step as the purchase.
Request volume terms and packing Repeat production needs quantity pricing, packing and delivery planning rather than a single-unit quote. Use the RFQ channel and state your annual volume.

Identify Your Bearing Before You Order

Four routes to a confirmed number. Use whichever your site allows, and include the result in the quote request.

1

Read the stamping

The fastest route. Check the outer ring face and the box label, and photograph both before the part is disposed of — the number is easier to read while the bearing is intact.

2

Measure the bore

Bore sets the shaft fit. For a 94.9 mm nominal, measure the worn inner ring at several points; a bearing removed after a long service life will read slightly different from new.

3

Measure outer diameter and height

Outer diameter fixes the housing fit and height confirms the shoulder position. Take outer diameter across the ring and height across the full assembled unit.

4

Check the nameplate

Where the bearing is unmarked, the compressor model and serial number are enough to work back to the intended position and nominal size.

The 94.9 / 95 mm point: the product page title and URL express this bearing as 95 x 170 x 43, while the published specification fields state 94.9 mm bore and 170.2 mm outer diameter. Both describe the same unit, so a measurement landing near 95 mm rather than exactly 95.0 mm is expected and should not be treated as a mismatch. If a measurement differs noticeably from these figures, send it in the enquiry rather than ordering on assumption.

Sourcing Terms and Enquiry Checklist

The questions that stop an enquiry from turning into an order, answered in one place before you write.

Lead time

BVN-7160 is listed as ready to ship with fast delivery against 75 sets of stock. For other numbers, lead time depends on whether the item is on the shelf or brought in.

Minimum order quantity

No minimum order quantity is published for this SKU. Single-unit replacement and repeat production volume both go through the same quote process.

Packing and shipping

At 7.00 KG per unit, packing and freight are planned around quantity. State the destination and required date so the shipping method can be quoted with the bearing.

Payment terms

Terms are confirmed on the quotation. Corporate and repeat accounts can discuss terms when the enquiry states the purchasing arrangement.

Samples

For OEM evaluation, request the part you intend to test and describe the assembly it goes into, so the correct position is confirmed rather than assumed.

Warranty and condition

Stock is described as 100% genuine and new. Warranty wording is confirmed with the quotation; nothing here should be read as an unstated guarantee.

Send the Part Number, Get the Quote

Give us the stamped number, the compressor model or the measurements you have taken, and the quantity you need. We confirm the SKU, the origin and the delivery position, then send pricing. If you are buying for production rather than repair, say so and include your annual volume so the sourcing terms match the order.

Frequently Asked Questions

what exactly is bvn-7160 and what does it fit?

it is a combined bearing that merges a cylindrical roller bearing with an angular contact ball bearing in a single unit, intended to carry radial and axial loads together. the application field on the product page names atlas air compressor equipment, covering both maintenance replacement and oem integration into new rotor and shaft assemblies.

is the size 95 x 170 x 43 mm or 94.9 x 170.2 x 43 mm?

both describe the same bearing. the page title and url use the rounded 95 x 170 x 43 form, while the published specification fields state 94.9 mm bore and 170.2 mm outer diameter with a 43 mm height. treat the decimal figures as the specification value and the round numbers as the nominal label.

how much stock is available and how fast can it ship?

the product page lists 75 sets in stock and states that the item is ready to ship with fast delivery. stock moves, so the current quantity is confirmed at the point of quotation rather than assumed from the published figure.

does the made in austria origin mean you are the manufacturer?

no. origin is stated per sku, and bvn-7160 carries a stated manufacturer origin of austria. this page is a stock and cross-reference resource: bearings are supplied to manufacturer-grade specification and held as ready stock. the origin field tells you where the bearing was made, not who is selling it.

my spares list shows a number that is no longer quoted. what now?

use the cross-reference block on this page. paired numbers such as np658549 with np104948, np645406 with np182140 hc, and np804861 with np914811 indicate that one reference has been superseded by another. send the stored number and the compressor model, and the current equivalent is confirmed before you order.

are load ratings, tolerance class or drawings available?

those values are not published on the product page, so they are confirmed on enquiry rather than stated here. send the position the bearing sits in and the information you need, and the technical detail is provided as part of the quotation process.
