Angular Contact Ball B. FAG 7318 -B-MP-UA

The FAG 7318 -B-MP-UA angular contact ball bearing, with its brass cage and main dimensions of 90 × 190 × 43 mm, provides a robust foundation for combined forces.

As a single-row rolling bearing, the 7318 -B-MP-UA angular contact ball bearing accommodates both radial and axial forces in one direction simultaneously. Thanks to its contact angle of 40 degrees, the component effectively transfers axial loads. Manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel 100Cr6, the raceways offer high dimensional stability during continuous industrial operation. As an open bearing, this design can be flexibly integrated into existing lubrication circuits using oil or grease.

What requirements does the 7318 -B-MP-UA angular contact ball bearing meet?

It is primarily used in shaft mountings where unidirectional axial forces occur in conjunction with transverse forces. Industrial applications involving high combined loads represent its primary area of use. Thanks to its standard radial clearance and manufacture to tolerance class P0/PN (equivalent to ABEC 1), the component is suitable for standardised fits. The permissible temperature range is from –20 to +150 degrees Celsius.

What are the advantages of a brass cage and universal pairing?

The solid brass cage (suffix MP) guides the rolling elements precisely and performs well under vibrations or demanding lubrication conditions. The suffix UA also indicates a universal design for installation in sets. If you fit two bearings of this type in pairs in an O or X arrangement, a defined, low axial clearance is automatically achieved without the need for shims. This simplifies assembly and promotes even load distribution within the bearing set.
