FAG7204BTVP.P5.DULAngular Contact Ball Bearing Matched Pair – 20 mm ID, 47 mm OD, 14 mm Width, Open, 40°, P5, Light Preload

Product Description

What this part is

FAG 7204B.TVP.P5.DUL is a matched pair of single-row angular contact ball bearings, 20 mm bore, 47 mm outside diameter, 14 mm width per bearing. Current Schaeffler designation 7204-B-XL-TVP-P5-UL, supplied as a universally matchable set. Open on both faces, chrome bearing steel rings and balls.

Decoding the designation

7204 is the ISO 72 series in the 04 bore code, giving a 20 mm bore. B is the FAG design variant for a 40° contact angle. TVP is the glass-fibre reinforced polyamide window cage. P5 is the dimensional and running accuracy class, equivalent to ABEC 5. DUL denotes a duplex set of universally matchable bearings ground for light preload.

What these specs mean in practice

A 40° contact angle carries substantially more axial load and permits a stiffer axial location than a 15° or 25° bearing of the same envelope, at the cost of speed capability. The polyamide cage is lighter than machined brass and runs quietly at speed. Light preload sets the axial stiffness at assembly and removes internal play, so the pair runs with defined position rather than a clearance band.

Quantity and configuration

Two bearings, sold as a matched pair. Universal matchability means the pair mounts back-to-back, face-to-face or in tandem, with light preload established automatically when two rings are clamped together. Because the set is preloaded, no radial internal clearance class applies.

Fitting notes

Rings are ground so that abutting faces establish the preload directly; shims and spacers are not used. Clamping is applied evenly across the full ring face. Mounted axial stiffness is a property of the pair, so the two bearings stay together as a set.

Interchange guidance

7204-B-XL-TVP-P5-UL is the current Schaeffler designation for the same product. 7204B.TVP.P5.UO is a related size at the same envelope with clearance-free rather than light-preload matching. 7204-B-TVP-P5-DUM is a related size differing in preload class. SKF 7204 ACD/P4ADGA and NSK 7204A5TYNDBL are same-envelope precision bearings at different contact angles.
