Angular Contact Ball B. FAG 7240 -B-MP-UA

The FAG 7240 -B-MP-UA angular contact ball bearing, measuring 200 × 360 × 58 mm and featuring a 40-degree contact angle, offers high axial load-carrying capacity for demanding bearing applications in mechanical engineering.

The 7240 -B-MP-UA angular contact ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing from FAG, manufactured from standard rolling bearing steel (100Cr6). It has a bore of 200 mm, an outside diameter of 360 mm and a width of 58 mm. Thanks to its design, this bearing can accommodate radial forces and, at the same time, axial forces acting from one side. As an open bearing, it can be flexibly connected to on-site lubrication systems.

What is the 7240 -B-MP-UA angular contact ball bearing suitable for?

Design engineers and maintenance personnel primarily use this design where high radial and axial loads occur simultaneously. The contact angle of 40 degrees gives the component a high axial load-carrying capacity in one direction. Typical applications include bearing arrangements subject to combined loads, as well as in large-scale industrial machinery. The bearing is designed for a temperature range of –20 to +200 degrees Celsius and operates with standard radial clearance within the standard tolerance class P0/PN (ABEC 1).

What are the advantages of the brass cage and the UA design?

The solid brass cage guides the rolling elements with minimal vibration and withstands thermal and mechanical stresses during continuous operation. The suffix ‘UA’ denotes a universal design for installation in pairs: When two bearings are combined in an O or X arrangement, the design ensures a low axial clearance without the need for complex fitting. The outer ring has no flange or groove, which simplifies installation in cylindrical housing bores.
