Angular Contact Ball B. FAG 7220 -B-MP

The FAG 7220 -B-MP angular contact ball bearing, with a 100 mm bore, brass cage and a 40-degree contact angle, offers a robust solution for unilateral axial loads.

The single-row angular contact ball bearing 7220 -B-MP from FAG accommodates combined loads consisting of radial and axial forces. Thanks to its angularly arranged raceways, this rolling bearing effectively dissipates axial forces in one specific direction. Manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel 100Cr6, it ensures dimensional stability within a defined temperature range of –20 to +150 degrees Celsius. Designed as an open bearing, this model can be flexibly integrated into existing lubrication systems.

What is the 7220 -B-MP angular contact ball bearing suitable for?

Typical applications can be found wherever shafts need to be both radially supported and precisely guided axially at high speeds. As single-row designs, by their very nature, can only absorb axial forces in one direction, operation usually requires a correspondingly positioned mating bearing. Designs in general mechanical engineering utilise this bearing arrangement under combined loads to reduce shaft misalignment and achieve defined axial guidance.

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

The suffix ‘B’ denotes a contact angle of 40 degrees, enabling the bearing to accommodate comparatively high axial forces. The solid brass cage (designation ‘MP’) guides the rolling elements precisely and proves particularly effective under demanding operating conditions and higher thermal loads. In combination with the standard radial clearance and tolerance class P0/PN, this standard design is suitable for precision industrial applications with external housing seals.
