Angular Contact Ball B. FAG 7216 -B-XL-TVP

The FAG 7216 -B-XL-TVP angular contact ball bearing (80x140x26 mm) accommodates high axial forces on one side as well as radial loads with a contact angle of 40 degrees.

The 7216 -B-XL-TVP angular contact ball bearing is manufactured by FAG Wälzlager and is designed as a single-row radial ball bearing for combined loads. Thanks to the diagonally opposed raceways of the inner and outer rings, the component specifically dissipates axial forces in one direction. Manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel (100Cr6), the open bearing provides a solid foundation for demanding mechanical assemblies with a defined direction of rotation.

What is the 7216 -B-XL-TVP angular contact ball bearing suitable for?

This single-row bearing is particularly recommended for shaft mountings where unilateral axial loads occur in conjunction with radial forces. Designs typically utilise this type where combined loads must be accommodated in a defined direction of rotation. As single-row angular contact ball bearings can only accommodate axial forces in one direction, they are usually fitted in mechanical engineering in conjunction with a mirror-image counter-bearing.

What are the functions of the contact angle and the polyamide cage?

The nominal contact angle of 40 degrees (designation B) increases the axial load capacity compared with bearings with a smaller angle. The suffix TVP refers to the polyamide cage, which guides the rolling elements with low vibration and reduces the overall weight of the unit. The standard radial clearance and the tolerance class P0/PN (corresponding to ABEC 1) allow for direct integration into standardised shaft and housing seats.
