Angular Contact Ball B. FAG 7318 -B-XL-TVP

The FAG 7318 -B-XL-TVP angular contact ball bearing (90x190x43 mm) accommodates combined radial and single-direction axial loads thanks to its 40-degree contact angle.

The 7318 -B-XL-TVP is a single-row rolling bearing made from standard bearing steel (100Cr6) with a bore of 90 mm, an outer diameter of 190 mm and a width of 43 mm. Thanks to the diagonally opposed raceways in the inner and outer rings, this unit is specifically designed for combined forces. This open-type bearing from FAG operates with standard radial clearance and complies with tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1.

What is the 7318 -B-XL-TVP angular contact ball bearing suitable for?

This single-row bearing supports radial forces as well as unidirectional axial forces. It is typically used in shaft mountings where axial thrusts in one direction must be reliably absorbed. As a single angular contact ball bearing can only transmit axial forces in one direction, operation usually requires a suitably aligned counter-bearing or installation in pairs to guide the shaft axially on both sides.

What is the effect of the 40-degree contact angle and the polyamide cage?

The nominal contact angle of 40 degrees gives the bearing an increased axial load capacity compared with bearings with smaller angles. The integrated polyamide cage guides the rolling elements with low friction and is characterised by smooth, quiet running. When using the bearing, the permissible temperature range of –20 to +120 degrees must be taken into account. As an open bearing without an integrated seal, you can integrate the component directly into the machine’s existing lubrication and sealing system.
