Angular Contact Ball B. FAG 7316 -B-XL-TVP

The FAG 7316 -B-XL-TVP angular contact ball bearing accurately handles combined loads with a 40-degree contact angle, with dimensions of 80 x 170 x 39 mm.

The single-row angular contact ball bearing 7316 -B-XL-TVP accommodates radial loads as well as single-direction axial loads. Manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel 100Cr6, this open rolling bearing is characterised by a standard radial clearance and tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1. This FAG design has a bore of 80 mm, an outer diameter of 170 mm and a width of 39 mm. It is primarily used in lubricated housings.

What is the 7316 -B-XL-TVP angular contact ball bearing suitable for?

Single-row angular contact ball bearings of this size transmit forces at an angle to the radial plane and are suitable for bearing arrangements subject to combined loads. As a single bearing can only accommodate axial forces in one direction, it is often fitted in a staggered arrangement with a second angular contact ball bearing. Typical applications include bearing arrangements in which, in addition to radial forces, defined axial forces act on the shaft. Thanks to the open design, the lubricant from the surrounding structure flows freely over the raceways.

What role do the 40-degree contact angle and the polyamide cage play?

The suffix ‘B’ denotes a contact angle of 40 degrees, meaning the bearing is designed for high axial loads. The abbreviation ‘TVP’ stands for a polyamide cage. This material ensures smooth guidance of the rolling elements and reduces the bearing’s own weight. When designing, take into account the permissible temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees to maintain the mechanical strength of the plastic cage. Furthermore, the open design requires an external housing seal to prevent the ingress of dirt.
