Description
FAG 7308 B MPA P5 UL Angular Contact Ball Bearing
The FAG 7308 B MPA P5 UL Angular Contact Ball Bearing is a single-row angular contact ball bearing. Bearings of this type feature solid inner and outer rings. Their designation derives from the contact angle formed as a result of the axial offset between the raceways of the inner and outer rings. Each bearing ring possesses one high shoulder and one low shoulder; the low shoulder permits the incorporation of a greater number of balls within the bearing. Single-row angular contact ball bearings are capable of supporting substantial radial loads as well as axial loads acting in a single direction. The larger the contact angle, the greater the bearing’s axial load-carrying capacity.
The FAG 7308 B MPA P5 UL Angular Contact Ball Bearing is classified as an X-life bearing. X-life bearings, by virtue of their specialized internal design, deliver superior performance relative to conventional angular contact ball bearings. Their contact surfaces, steel composition, and rolling elements are manufactured to a higher standard of quality. Consequently, X-life bearings combine an increased load-carrying capacity with an extended service life. These bearings generate less operational heat, thereby permitting higher rotational speeds, and they additionally offer longer maintenance intervals than standard angular contact ball bearings.
The FAG 7308 B MPA P5 UL Angular Contact Ball Bearing is furthermore designated as a universal angular contact ball bearing. Universal angular contact ball bearings exhibiting identical deviations in bore diameter and outer diameter may be paired for use in various mounting arrangements. When a matched pair of UL-type bearings is installed in either an X (face-to-face) or O (back-to-back) configuration, a slight axial preload is established.
