Angular Contact Ball B. FAG 7204 -B-XL-TVP-UA

The FAG 7204 -B-XL-TVP-UA angular contact ball bearing, measuring 20x47x14 mm and with a contact angle of 40 degrees, offers a solution for combined loads.

The FAG 7204 -B-XL-TVP-UA angular contact ball bearing is a single-row radial rolling bearing made from standard bearing steel (100Cr6) with a standard radial clearance. Thanks to the raceways offset at an angle to one another, this design can accommodate not only radial forces but also high axial forces on one side. Thanks to the guided polyamide cage, the open component operates with low vibration. For design and maintenance, the standardised tolerance class P0/PN (ABEC 1) provides a defined fit accuracy for replacement or redesign.

What is the 7204 -B-XL-TVP-UA angular contact ball bearing suitable for in operation?

This rolling bearing is used where rotating shafts are subjected simultaneously to transverse forces and unidirectional axial forces. As a single angular contact ball bearing can only accommodate axial forces in one direction, it is usually paired with a second bearing. When mounted in pairs in an O or X configuration, this universal design enables a defined, low axial clearance for precisely guided shaft bearings.

What do the 40-degree contact angle and the UA universal design mean?

The nominal contact angle of 40 degrees gives the bearing an increased axial load capacity compared with bearings with a smaller angle. The suffix ‘UA’ denotes a universal design for installation in pairs: two bearings can be mounted directly side by side in an X or O arrangement without shims, automatically establishing a low axial clearance. The integrated polyamide cage (TVP) keeps the rolling elements spaced apart and is suitable for operating temperatures ranging from –20 to +120 degrees. As the bearing is unsealed, an external housing seal provides protection against lubricant loss.
