Angular Contact Ball B. FAG 7217 -B-MP-UA

The FAG 7217 -B-MP-UA single-row angular contact ball bearing, measuring 85 × 150 × 28 mm, with a brass cage and a 40-degree contact angle, can accommodate high radial and axial loads.

The 7217 -B-MP-UA from FAG is a single-row rolling bearing made from standard bearing steel (100Cr6) with dimensions of 85 mm bore, 150 mm outer diameter and 28 mm width. The design features a contact angle of 40 degrees and a robust brass cage. As an open bearing, this version is designed for operating temperatures ranging from -20 to +150 degrees. The universal design also allows for installation in pairs in an O or X configuration with a defined low axial clearance.

In which applications is the 7217 -B-MP-UA angular contact ball bearing used?

In addition to radial forces, this angular contact ball bearing primarily accommodates single-sided axial loads. Thanks to its contact angle of 40 degrees, the bearing is particularly suitable for applications involving high axial forces in industrial machinery and plant engineering. Typical applications include bearing arrangements where shafts are guided under combined loads. For alternating axial load directions, it is recommended to use the bearing in pairs with a second angular contact ball bearing.

What are the distinguishing features of the brass cage and universal design?

The designation ‘UA’ stands for a universal design which, when mounted in pairs in an O or X arrangement, has a low axial clearance. This simplifies installation as a bearing set without the need for time-consuming adjustment of spacer rings. The guided brass cage remains dimensionally stable under vibration and is suitable for temperatures up to +150 degrees. As this is an open bearing without integrated seals, you should select the lubricant and housing seal to suit your specific operating environment.
