Angular Contact Ball B. FAG 7226 -B-MP-UA

The 7226 -B-MP-UA angular contact ball bearing, measuring 130 × 230 × 40 mm, is designed to withstand high combined radial and axial loads in mechanical engineering applications.

The 7226 -B-MP-UA angular contact ball bearing is an open, single-row rolling bearing from FAG, manufactured from standard bearing steel (100Cr6). Thanks to its contact angle of 40 degrees, this bearing accommodates unilateral axial forces in combination with radial forces. Fitted with a solid brass cage, the component is suitable for applications in the temperature range from -20 to +150 degrees. It complies with tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1 and has a standard radial clearance as supplied.

In which load configurations is the 7226 -B-MP-UA angular contact ball bearing used?

This rolling bearing is primarily used where axial forces act in a defined direction on a cylindrical shaft seat with a diameter of 130 mm. Typical applications include shaft mountings subject to combined loads, where axial guiding forces must be absorbed. As this is an open bearing without a flange or groove on the outer ring, lubrication is provided by the surrounding housing. The brass cage guides the balls evenly along the raceways, even under thermal stress.

What does the suffix ‘UA’ mean in the angular contact ball bearing 7226 -B-MP-UA?

The suffix ‘UA’ indicates a universally compatible bearing design. You can use this angular contact ball bearing individually or mount it with other UA bearings in an O, X or tandem arrangement. When fitted in pairs in an O or X arrangement, a small amount of axial play occurs without shims. During design, the main dimensions – a bore of 130 mm, an outer diameter of 230 mm and a width of 40 mm – as well as the alignment of the thrust line must be taken into account.
