Angular Contact Ball B. FAG 7213 -B-XL-TVP

The 7213 -B-XL-TVP angular contact ball bearing, measuring 65 × 120 × 23 mm, accommodates combined radial and single-direction axial loads at high speeds.

The 7213 -B-XL-TVP angular contact ball bearing from FAG Wälzlager is a single-row rolling bearing made from standard bearing steel (100Cr6) with a bore of 65 mm, an outer diameter of 120 mm and a width of 23 mm. Thanks to the asymmetrical shoulder design of the raceways, this design transmits high axial forces in one direction as well as radial loads. As an open bearing without an integrated seal, this design is intended for use in lubricated housings. It is suitable for use over a temperature range of –20 to +120 degrees Celsius.

What is the 7213 -B-XL-TVP angular contact ball bearing suitable for in industrial applications?

This single-row bearing is primarily installed where shafts must withstand not only radial loads but also unidirectional axial forces. Typical applications can be found in general mechanical engineering, in gearboxes, pumps or compressors. As a single angular contact ball bearing can only accommodate axial forces in one direction, it is usually fitted in a paired arrangement with a second rolling bearing. The version in tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1 meets the standard precision requirements for industrial mass production and spare parts.

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

The suffixes define key design features of this bearing. The designation ‘B’ stands for a contact angle of 40 degrees, which gives the rolling bearing an increased axial load capacity compared to bearings with a smaller angle. The polyamide cage (TVP) guides the rolling elements quietly and is characterised by its low weight. As the bearing is supplied with standard radial clearance and has an outer ring without a flange, it can be fitted with a positive fit into cylindrical housing bores.
