Angular Contact Ball B. FAG 7317 -B-XL-TVP

The FAG 7317 -B-XL-TVP angular contact ball bearing, with its 40-degree contact angle, can accommodate high radial forces and unilateral axial loads with a shaft diameter of 85 mm.

The 7317 -B-XL-TVP angular contact ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing made from conventional standard bearing steel (100Cr6). Thanks to the specific arrangement of the raceways in relation to one another, this unit effectively transfers combined loads. The design is an open bearing, allowing lubricants such as oil or grease to reach the contact surfaces of the rolling elements unhindered. With dimensions of 85 mm inner diameter and 180 mm outer diameter, and a width of 41 mm, the design complies with the standard tolerance P0/PN (ABEC 1).

What is the 7317 -B-XL-TVP angular contact ball bearing suitable for?

This bearing is primarily used where both radial forces and significant axial loads in one direction act on the shaft simultaneously. As a single angular contact ball bearing can, by design, only accommodate axial forces from one side, in practice it is often paired with a second rolling bearing or fitted as a combined unit. Typical applications include shaft mountings where stable guidance under combined loads is required.

What is the function of the 40-degree contact angle and the polyamide cage?

The designation ‘B’ stands for the 40-degree contact angle, which supports a particularly high axial load capacity. At the same time, the integrated polyamide cage (TVP) guides the ball race quietly and with flexibility. When designing the bearing installation, it is advisable to observe the permissible temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees, as the plastic cage limits this operating range. As the unit is of an open design, the surrounding housing structure must prevent the ingress of dirt particles.
