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

The FAG 7216 -B-XL-TVP-UA angular contact ball bearing, with an 80 mm bore and a 40-degree contact angle, offers a robust solution for combined radial and axial forces.

This single-row angular contact ball bearing 7216 -B-XL-TVP-UA, made from standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6), accommodates radial loads as well as axial forces in one direction. The outer ring has an outer diameter of 140 mm and a width of 26 mm, and has no flange or groove. Manufactured to tolerance class P0/PN (ABEC 1), the component complies with industrial dimensional accuracy standards.

In which installation scenarios does the 7216 -B-XL-TVP-UA angular contact ball bearing prove its worth?

Design engineers primarily use this angular contact ball bearing where radial loads and single-sided axial forces occur simultaneously. Typical applications are found in mechanical engineering for shaft bearings subjected to combined loads. As this is an open bearing without integrated sealing washers, the bearing arrangement integrates the component directly into the structure’s lubrication circuit. This allows lubricating oil or grease to circulate unhindered around the rolling elements.

What does the universal design UA with a 40-degree contact angle mean?

The suffix ‘UA’ denotes a universal bearing for installation in sets. If two bearings of this design are fitted in pairs in an O or X arrangement, a small amount of axial clearance is created within the bearing set. The increased contact angle of 40 degrees (designation B) enhances the bearing’s ability to support axial loads compared with versions with a smaller angle. In addition, the polyamide cage (TVP) guides the rolling elements within a temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees.
