Angular Contact Ball B. FAG 7214 -B-MP

The FAG 7214 -B-MP angular contact ball bearing, with dimensions of 70 × 125 × 24 mm, a 40-degree contact angle and a brass cage, offers high axial and radial load-carrying capacity.

The 7214 -B-MP angular contact ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing made from standard bearing steel 100Cr6, with dimensions of 70 mm bore, 125 mm outer diameter and 24 mm width. FAG manufactures this bearing in the standard version with an open design and normal radial clearance. Thanks to its flanged design and a contact angle of 40 degrees, the bearing can accommodate both radial loads and single-sided axial forces. The solid brass cage guides the rolling elements in an orderly manner within the raceway, even under thermal loads ranging from –20 to +150 degrees.

In which applications is the 7214 -B-MP angular contact ball bearing used?

Design engineers and maintenance technicians prefer to use the 7214 -B-MP angular contact ball bearing in bearing arrangements where high radial forces are combined with unidirectional axial loads. Typical applications include combined-load bearing arrangements and shaft guides in general mechanical engineering. As this is an open bearing, the grease or lubricating oil can be flexibly adapted to the specific design. For axial forces acting from both sides, this single-row bearing is usually combined with a mirror-image counter-bearing.

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

The suffix ‘B’ denotes the 40-degree contact angle. This angle distributes the applied forces obliquely across the rolling elements and allows high axial forces to be accommodated in one direction. The designation ‘MP’ stands for a guided solid brass cage. Brass is characterised by high strength and favourable emergency running properties. Compared with standard sheet metal cages, this material resists mechanical vibrations and is designed for a temperature range of –20 to +150 degrees.
