Angular Contact Ball B. FAG 7217 -B-XL-TVP-P5

The FAG 7217 -B-XL-TVP-P5 angular contact ball bearing, with dimensions of 85x150x28 mm, a contact angle of 40 degrees and tolerance class P5, provides precise guidance under combined loads.

This single-row angular contact ball bearing 7217 -B-XL-TVP-P5 from FAG accommodates combined loads consisting of radial forces and single-sided axial forces. Thanks to the 40-degree contact angle, the rolling bearing effectively transmits axial loads in one direction along the line of action. The integrated polyamide cage guides the rolling elements smoothly whilst keeping the bearing’s own weight low. Manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel 100Cr6, the open design without seals covers an operating temperature range from –20 to +120 degrees.

For which mounting conditions is the 7217 -B-XL-TVP-P5 angular contact ball bearing designed?

The design is intended for mounting positions where, in addition to radial forces, defined one-sided axial forces must be supported. For alternating axial force directions, a second bearing is provided in a mirror-image arrangement. Thanks to its tight manufacturing to tolerance class P5 (ABEC 5), this rolling bearing is particularly suitable for shaft mountings where precise concentricity and smooth running during continuous operation are required.

What are the characteristics of the 40-degree contact angle and tolerance class P5?

The 40-degree contact angle dissipates axial forces via the angular raceways and enables a high axial load capacity in the direction of the load. The P5 tolerance class design is characterised by tighter dimensional limits for the bore, outer diameter, and flatness and concentricity compared to standard bearings. As this is an open bearing without sealing washers, lubricant can reach the contact points unhindered, whilst the surrounding structure must protect the bearing from contamination.
