Angular Contact Ball B. FAG 7316 -B-MP

The FAG 7316 -B-MP angular contact ball bearing is designed with an 80 mm bore, a 40-degree contact angle and a brass cage for combined radial and axial loads.

The single-row angular contact ball bearing 7316 -B-MP from FAG accommodates both radial and axial forces in one direction. Thanks to the 40-degree contact angle, the bearing transmits applied loads at an angle to the radial plane between the raceways. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6) in tolerance class P0 (standard tolerance or ABEC 1), this open bearing is suitable for designs with external housing lubrication within a temperature range of -20 to +150 degrees.

What is the 7316 -B-MP angular contact ball bearing suitable for?

This design is used in bearing locations where high radial loads are combined with axial forces acting in one direction. Single-row angular contact ball bearings of the 7316 series are designed for specific axial guidance tasks. As a single bearing can only accommodate axial forces in one direction, in practice it is often mounted in a pair. The solid outer ring, without a flange or ring groove, fits into cylindrical housing bores.

How do the 40-degree contact angle and brass cage function in the 7316 -B-MP?

The nominal contact angle of 40 degrees gives the -B version a high axial load capacity. The suffix MP denotes a guided solid brass cage. This cage material is characterised by its dimensional stability and is suitable for demanding operating conditions as well as operating temperatures up to +150 degrees. As this is an open bearing without integrated sealing washers, you should select the appropriate lubricant type and external sealing to suit your environment.
