Angular Contact Ball B. FAG 7228 -B-MP

The 7228 -B-MP angular contact ball bearing, with a 140 mm bore and a 40-degree contact angle, can accommodate high unilateral axial and radial forces.

The 7228 -B-MP angular contact ball bearing from FAG Rolling Bearings is a single-row radial ball bearing for industrial applications. Thanks to its angularly arranged raceways, this rolling bearing effectively transfers combined loads. The bearing is made from standard rolling-element steel (100Cr6) and operates with standard radial clearance within tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1. The open bearing has an outer ring without a flange or groove and is suitable for lubricated installations.

What is the 7228 -B-MP angular contact ball bearing suitable for in operation?

This bearing is primarily suitable for designs in which radial forces and significant axial forces act simultaneously in one direction. Thanks to its 40-degree contact angle, the component effectively transfers axial loads to the housing structure. Typical applications include bearing arrangements where shafts must be guided safely under unilateral axial and radial loads. As single-row angular contact ball bearings can only accommodate axial forces from one side, the bearing arrangement usually requires a suitably positioned mating bearing.

What is the function of the brass cage in this bearing?

The built-in brass cage guides the rolling elements precisely within the raceway, even under demanding operating conditions. Brass is characterised by high strength and good emergency running properties in the event of a lack of lubricant. Together with the permissible temperature range of –20 to +200 degrees, this cage variant enables use in units subject to thermal stress. As the bearing is of an open design, you can tailor the type of lubricant and external sealing precisely to your environmental conditions.
