Angular Contact Ball B. FAG 7318 -B-MP

The single-row FAG angular contact ball bearing 7318 -B-MP, with a brass cage and dimensions of 90 × 190 × 43 mm, can withstand high radial and unilateral axial loads.

The FAG 7318 -B-MP angular contact ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing made from standard bearing steel (100Cr6) for demanding industrial applications. With a bore of 90 mm, an outside diameter of 190 mm and a width of 43 mm, this design is specifically suited to bearing arrangements subject to combined loads. Thanks to its contact angle of 40 degrees, the open bearing accommodates not only radial forces but also significant axial loads in one direction. Maintenance engineers and designers use it when precise guidance and thermal resistance up to 150 degrees are required.

What is the 7318 -B-MP angular contact ball bearing suitable for in operation?

This single-row bearing is primarily suitable for shaft mountings where radial forces and high unilateral axial loads occur simultaneously. Typical applications can be found in general mechanical engineering as well as in gearboxes and drive systems. Due to its design, the 40-degree contact angle reliably absorbs axial forces. As single-row angular contact ball bearings only absorb axial forces in one direction, they are usually fitted in pairs or in conjunction with a counter-bearing during operation.

What are the advantages of the brass cage in the FAG 7318 -B-MP?

The suffix ‘MP’ denotes a solid brass cage, which is characterised by high strength and favourable sliding properties. The cage also withstands vibrations and demanding operating conditions. Combined with a temperature range of –20 to +150 degrees and normal radial clearance, the bearing is suitable for thermally stressed assemblies. As this is an open design without an integrated seal, users can tailor the lubricant and external housing seal precisely to the specific operating environment.
