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

The FAG 7224 -B-XL-TVP-UA angular contact ball bearing, measuring 120 × 215 × 40 mm, accommodates combined radial and high single-direction axial loads.

The single-row angular contact ball bearing 7224 -B-XL-TVP-UA from FAG is designed for industrial applications involving combined loads. Thanks to its contact angle of 40 degrees, this rolling bearing transmits not only radial forces but also defined axial forces in one direction. Manufactured from standard rolling bearing steel 100Cr6 and available in standard tolerance class P0 (ABEC 1), it ensures smooth shaft guidance. As an open rolling bearing, the bearing housing requires external sealing and a suitable lubricant supply.

In which installation situations does the 7224 -B-XL-TVP-UA angular contact ball bearing prove its worth?

This single-row angular contact ball bearing is primarily used where shafts must accommodate both radial and single-sided axial forces at high speeds. As a single angular contact ball bearing supports axial loads in one direction only, in practice it is usually mounted opposite a second bearing arranged in a mirror-image configuration. The open design, without integrated flanges or grooves on the outer ring, facilitates direct fitting into flat housing bores.

What advantages does the UA universal design offer for bearing pairs?

The suffix ‘UA’ denotes a universal bearing designed for installation in pairs. When mounted in pairs in an O or X arrangement, a small amount of axial clearance is established by the manufacturer without the need to fit shims. The integrated polyamide cage guides the rolling elements with low friction and is suitable for an operating temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees Celsius.
