Angular Contact Ball B. FAG 7224 -B-XL-TVP

The FAG 7224 -B-XL-TVP single-row angular contact ball bearing, measuring 120 × 215 × 40 mm, accommodates combined radial and unilateral axial loads at a contact angle of 40 degrees.

The 7224 -B-XL-TVP angular contact ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing manufactured by FAG, designed for operating conditions involving simultaneously acting radial and single-direction axial forces. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6), the bearing has a bore of 120 mm, an outer diameter of 215 mm and a width of 40 mm. It has a standard radial clearance and a tolerance class of P0/PN (ABEC 1). As an open bearing, it can be flexibly integrated into oil- or grease-lubricated housings.

What are the industrial applications of the 7224 -B-XL-TVP angular contact ball bearing?

This single-row angular contact ball bearing is used where guided shaft mountings and the absorption of high axial forces from a single direction are required. The contact angle of 40 degrees directs the forces diagonally across the radial plane through the bearing. Such rolling bearings often operate in pairs or in combination with a second bearing to absorb alternating axial forces. Typical applications include bearing arrangements subject to combined radial and axial loads at operating temperatures between –20 and +120 degrees.

What distinguishes the TVP version with a polyamide cage and an open outer ring?

The suffix ‘TVP’ denotes a polyamide cage which guides the rolling elements and keeps the mass of the moving components low. As the bearing is designed without a seal, the surrounding housing structure provides protection against contamination. During assembly, the direction of action of the 40-degree contact angle must be observed to ensure that axial forces are absorbed via the load-bearing flange side. The cylindrical outer ring sits flush in the bearing seat without a flange or circumferential groove.
