Angular Contact Ball B. FAG 7224 -B-MP-UA

The FAG 7224 -B-MP-UA angular contact ball bearing, with a 120 mm bore and a 40° contact angle, offers a robust solution for combined radial and axial loads.

The 7224 -B-MP-UA angular contact ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing from FAG, manufactured from standard bearing steel 100Cr6. Thanks to the 40-degree contact angle, the design can accommodate not only radial forces but also significant axial loads in one direction. The brass cage ensures stable guidance of the rolling elements under demanding operating conditions. With main dimensions of 120 mm inner diameter, 215 mm outer diameter and 40 mm width, this design is suitable for bearing arrangements subject to combined radial and axial loads.

What is the 7224 -B-MP-UA angular contact ball bearing suitable for?

This bearing is particularly useful when high radial forces and single-sided axial forces occur simultaneously. Typical applications are found in industrial bearing arrangements subject to demanding operating conditions. As this is an open bearing without integrated seals, lubrication is provided directly via the housing assembly. A seal must be provided on site to protect against dirt and moisture. The operating temperature range of –20 to +150 degrees also allows for use in bearing locations subject to thermal stress.

What does the suffix ‘-B-MP-UA’ mean in terms of installation?

The designation provides key information on how the bearing functions: the abbreviation B stands for the 40-degree contact angle, which enables a high axial load-carrying capacity in one direction. MP denotes the solid brass cage, whilst UA indicates a universal design. This allows the angular contact ball bearings to be mounted in pairs in an O or X arrangement, whereby a small amount of axial play is established in these configurations. This universal pairing capability simplifies stockholding, as no specially pre-paired bearing sets are required.
