Angular Contact Ball B. FAG 7334 -B-MP

FAG 7334 -B-MP angular contact ball bearing: A single-row, open rolling bearing with a 170 mm bore, brass cage and a 40-degree contact angle for combined loads.

The FAG 7334 -B-MP angular contact ball bearing accommodates both radial forces and single-sided axial forces simultaneously. This single-row rolling bearing has a bore of 170 mm, an outer diameter of 360 mm and a width of 72 mm. As it is manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel 100Cr6 and features an open design without sealing washers, it is suitable for lubricated assemblies subjected to combined load conditions.

What is the 7334 -B-MP angular contact ball bearing with a 40-degree contact angle suitable for?

Due to its design, the 7334 -B-MP angular contact ball bearing transmits axial forces in one direction via its angled raceways. The nominal contact angle of 40 degrees gives the bearing axial load-carrying capacity whilst simultaneously accommodating radial loads. Typical applications include powertrains and shaft mountings where shafts must be guided under defined axial forces. The single-row bearing is often mounted in conjunction with a second bearing for this purpose.

What is the function of the brass cage in the -B-MP variant?

The suffix ‘MP’ denotes a solid brass window cage. This cage is characterised by mechanical strength and good running properties, which are advantageous in the event of shock loads or vibrations. As this bearing is designed for temperatures ranging from -20 to +200 degrees and has the standard radial clearance, it can be fitted in oil- or grease-lubricated housings. Before installation, care must be taken to ensure the correct lubrication and the correct axial orientation of the ring shoulders.
