Angular Contact Ball B. FAG 7215 -B-XL-TVP-UA

The FAG 7215 -B-XL-TVP-UA angular contact ball bearing with a 75 mm bore accommodates combined radial and axial loads at a 40-degree contact angle.

This single-row angular contact ball bearing, model 7215 -B-XL-TVP-UA from FAG, is designed to accommodate combined loads consisting of radial forces and unidirectional axial forces. Manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel 100Cr6, this version has a bore of 75 mm, an outside diameter of 130 mm and a width of 25 mm. A dimensionally stable polyamide cage maintains the rolling elements at a uniform distance and reduces the weight of the rotating components during operation.

What loads can the 7215 -B-XL-TVP-UA angular contact ball bearing accommodate?

Designs subject to combined loads utilise the geometry of this bearing for effective load transfer. Due to the steep contact angle of 40 degrees, the component primarily absorbs axial forces in one direction whilst simultaneously withstanding radial loads. Typical applications are found in industrial bearing arrangements where shafts are guided under axial loads. The bearing is designed for a temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees and features a cylindrical outer ring without a flange or groove.

What does the universal design ‘UA’ mean in terms of installation?

The UA designation indicates universal compatibility. When arranged in pairs in an O or X configuration, a defined, small amount of axial clearance is established within the bearing set. This simplifies installation, as no manual adjustment using shims is required. As the bearing is designed as an open unit without integrated seals, the surrounding bearing housing provides protection against contamination, whilst lubricant is supplied externally via oil or grease.
