Angular Contact Ball B. FAG 7208 -B-XL-TVP-P5-UO

The FAG 7208 -B-XL-TVP-P5-UO angular contact ball bearing, with dimensions of 40x80x18 mm, a 40-degree contact angle and tolerance class P5, provides a zero-backlash pairing for precise shaft mountings.

This single-row angular contact ball bearing 7208 -B-XL-TVP-P5-UO, made from standard rolling bearing steel 100Cr6, accommodates combined radial and axial loads. Thanks to the angularly arranged raceways with a contact angle of 40 degrees, the design supports both radial and axial forces in one direction. The dimensionally stable polyamide cage guides the rolling elements quietly and with low vibration within permissible operating temperatures ranging from –20 to +120 degrees Celsius.

What requirements does the angular contact ball bearing 7208 -B-XL-TVP-P5-UO meet in practice?

This bearing design is primarily used where rotating shafts must be guided axially with precision and where combined loads are present. Due to its design, a single angular contact ball bearing supports axial forces in only one direction. For this reason, in industrial practice it is usually fitted as a matched bearing pair to absorb axial thrusts occurring in opposite directions on both sides.

What is the function of the universal design UO and tolerance class P5?

The suffix ‘UO’ denotes a universal bearing for installation in pairs in an O or X arrangement, without the need for shims to adjust the clearance. When installed as a pair, the bearing pair is designed to be clearance-free, which simplifies installation procedures in maintenance and manufacturing. Tolerance class P5, in accordance with ABEC 5, is characterised by tighter manufacturing tolerances and ensures high concentricity and dimensional accuracy on both the housing and the shaft.
