Angular Contact Ball B. FAG 7208 -B-XL-TVP-UO

The FAG 7208 -B-XL-TVP-UO angular contact ball bearing, measuring 40 x 80 x 18 mm and with a contact angle of 40 degrees, provides a zero-backlash pairing for combined loads.

The 7208 -B-XL-TVP-UO angular contact ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing manufactured by FAG Wälzlager from standard 100Cr6 bearing steel. Thanks to the integrated contact angle of 40 degrees, this design accommodates not only radial forces but, above all, single-sided axial forces. The component features an outer ring without a flange or groove, as well as standard radial clearance. As this is an open bearing without sealing elements, lubrication is provided flexibly via the surrounding structure.

What is the 7208 -B-XL-TVP-UO angular contact ball bearing suitable for?

This rolling bearing is primarily suitable for shaft mountings where axial and radial forces act simultaneously. It is used in designs where defined guiding forces must be accommodated in one direction. As a single angular contact ball bearing can only accommodate axial forces in one direction, in many designs a mirror-image counter-bearing is fitted to provide guidance in the opposite direction. The open design allows for use in oil- or grease-lubricated housings.

What does the UO designation mean for installation in pairs?

The suffixes provide information about the functional properties of the bearing. The abbreviation UO denotes a universally compatible single bearing intended for installation in pairs. Arranging two of these bearings in an O or X configuration creates a play-free bearing set without the need for additional shims. The letter B denotes the 40-degree contact angle, whilst TVP stands for a dimensionally stable polyamide cage. The bearing can be used within a temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees.
