Angular Contact Ball B. FAG 7214 -B-XL-TVP

The FAG 7214 -B-XL-TVP angular contact ball bearing accommodates combined radial and high single-direction axial loads whilst maintaining compact dimensions of 70 × 125 × 24 mm.

The 7214 -B-XL-TVP angular contact ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing designed for demanding rotational movements in mechanical engineering. Thanks to its 40-degree contact angle, this design supports considerable axial forces in one direction. Manufactured from standard 100Cr6 rolling bearing steel and fitted with a lightweight polyamide cage, this unit combines precise guidance with smooth running. This bearing complies with the P0/PN tolerance class specified by the manufacturer FAG.

What is the 7214 -B-XL-TVP angular contact ball bearing suitable for in operation?

Design engineers select this design primarily for bearing arrangements where radial loads occur simultaneously with unilateral axial forces. Typical applications include shaft bearings with a defined axial load direction. As a single-row bearing can only accommodate axial forces in one direction, it is usually fitted opposite a second bearing positioned at the correct angle. The polyamide cage reduces friction and noise during mechanical operation.

What are the advantages of the TVP polyamide cage with a 40-degree contact angle?

The suffix ‘TVP’ denotes the polyamide cage, which guides the rolling elements and reduces the weight of the rotating parts. Together with the 40-degree contact angle (designation B), the unit can withstand unilateral axial loads with normal radial clearance. The open bearing allows for targeted lubrication with oil or grease via the machine housing. The permissible temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees must be taken into account during design.
