Angular Contact Ball B. FAG 7211 -B-XL-TVP

The FAG 7211 -B-XL-TVP angular contact ball bearing, with a 55 mm bore and an outer diameter of 100 mm, accommodates combined radial and single-direction axial loads.

This single-row angular contact ball bearing 7211 -B-XL-TVP from FAG is suitable for bearing arrangements where radial forces occur simultaneously with axial loads in one direction. Thanks to the offset raceways in the inner and outer rings, the bearing transmits the operating forces at an angle to the radial plane. Manufactured from standard rolling bearing steel (100Cr6), this open rolling bearing is characterised by its dimensional stability and load-carrying capacity. With a width of 21 mm, it fits into standardised housing seats of standard tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1.

What is the 7211 -B-XL-TVP angular contact ball bearing suitable for?

Design engineers prefer to use this component in bearing arrangements subject to combined loads. As a single-row angular contact ball bearing can only accommodate axial forces from one direction, it is often mounted in conjunction with a second bearing. Typical configurations include the O or X arrangement, which allow for shaft guidance with defined preload or controlled axial play. The design, which has no flange or circumferential groove on the outer ring, enables straightforward axial fixation within the bearing housing.

What is the function of the 40-degree contact angle and the polyamide cage?

The nominal contact angle of 40 degrees gives the bearing a considerable axial load-carrying capacity whilst maintaining stable radial guidance. In the variant with the suffix TVP, a lightweight polyamide cage guides the rolling elements between the raceways. This material dampens running noise and reduces friction during operation. The open bearing has no integrated sealing washers, which is why lubrication is provided via the machine’s oil or grease circuit. The permissible operating temperature range is from –20 to +120 degrees Celsius.
