Angular Contact Ball B. FAG 7412 -B-MP-UA

The FAG 7412 -B-MP-UA angular contact ball bearing, with a 60 mm bore, brass cage and a 40-degree contact angle, provides a robust bearing solution for combined loads.

The FAG 7412 -B-MP-UA angular contact ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing made from standard bearing steel (100Cr6) with main dimensions of 60 × 150 × 35 mm. Due to the geometry of the raceways, this design accommodates both radial forces and single-sided axial forces simultaneously. The open bearing design allows for flexible lubrication directly via the housing. The integrated brass cage reliably guides the rolling elements even under thermal loads ranging from –20 to +150 degrees.

What is the 7412 -B-MP-UA angular contact ball bearing suitable for in operation?

This angular contact ball bearing is primarily used where radial loads act on the shaft together with axial forces in one direction. Typical applications can be found in mechanical engineering for shaft bearings subjected to combined loads. As the bearing pair has a low axial clearance in an O or X arrangement, it can be used to create backlash-free or specifically preloaded bearing arrangements.

The contact angle of 40 degrees is designed to accommodate high axial forces. As this is an open bearing, select the lubricant appropriate to the environmental conditions of the surrounding assembly.

What does the suffix ‘UA’ mean in the angular contact ball bearing 7412 -B-MP-UA?

The designation ‘UA’ stands for a universal design intended for installation in pairs. When two bearings of this variant are mounted opposite each other in an O or X arrangement, a defined, small amount of axial clearance is automatically established. This simplifies assembly, as it eliminates the need for time-consuming manual fitting of shims.

The letters MP denote the brass cage. When selecting this bearing, note that it has the standard tolerance class P0/PN (corresponding to ABEC 1) and an open design, which requires the housing to be sealed on site.
