Angular Contact Ball B. FAG 7218 -B-XL-TVP-UO

FAG 7218 -B-XL-TVP-UO angular contact ball bearing, dimensions 90x160x30 mm, for combined loads when mounted without clearance.

The angular contact ball bearing 7218 -B-XL-TVP-UO is a single-row rolling bearing made from standard bearing steel (100Cr6) with a 90 mm bore, an outer diameter of 160 mm and a width of 30 mm. Thanks to its integrated contact angle of 40 degrees, this open bearing accommodates not only radial forces but also single-sided axial forces. The design complies with standard tolerance P0/PN or ABEC 1 and has standard radial clearance.

What is the 7218 -B-XL-TVP-UO angular contact ball bearing suitable for?

This angular contact ball bearing is typically used in shaft mountings where radial loads and defined axial loads act simultaneously in one direction. The contact angle of 40 degrees enables a high axial load capacity along the line of action between the inner and outer rings. Such bearing arrangements are frequently found in mechanical assemblies that require axial guidance of the rotating shaft. As the bearing is of an open design, it must be integrated into an external lubrication system using grease or lubricating oil.

What does the UO designation mean for this bearing?

The suffix ‘UO’ denotes a universal bearing designed for installation in pairs. When fitted as a bearing pair in an O or X arrangement, the bearing assembly is adjusted to be play-free without the need for additional shims. The integrated polyamide cage guides the rolling elements quietly and keeps the weight of the rotating components low. When designing the system, please note the permissible temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees Celsius.
