Angular Contact Ball B. FAG 7203 -B-XL-TVP

The FAG 7203 -B-XL-TVP angular contact ball bearing reliably withstands combined loads whilst maintaining compact dimensions of 17 x 40 x 12 mm.

The single-row angular contact ball bearing 7203 -B-XL-TVP from FAG Rolling Bearings is designed for combined radial and single-direction axial loads. Thanks to its contact angle of 40 degrees, this bearing supports axial forces in one direction. Manufactured from 100Cr6 rolling bearing steel with dimensions of 17 mm bore, 40 mm outer diameter and 12 mm width, the open design is suitable for industrial applications with continuous lubrication. The design complies with the standard tolerance class P0 (ABEC 1) and offers defined operating behaviour with standard radial clearance.

What load combinations can the 7203 -B-XL-TVP angular contact ball bearing accommodate?

Designs involving single-sided axial forces and simultaneous radial loads constitute the primary area of application for this series. Typical applications are found in shaft mountings where guiding forces must be accurately accommodated. As single-row angular contact ball bearings can only accommodate axial forces in one direction, users often fit these bearings in pairs, with one bearing facing the other. The open design allows direct access to lubricant from the surrounding machine housing.

What are the advantages of the 40-degree contact angle and the TVP cage?

The suffix ‘B’ denotes the large contact angle of 40 degrees, which ensures a high axial load capacity. Together with the lightweight polyamide cage (TVP), the ball unit operates quietly within a temperature range of –20 to +120 degrees Celsius. The cage guides the rolling elements accurately whilst ensuring even load distribution. In the design, the housing provides the seal against external contaminants.
