Decoding the order code

72: single-row angular contact ball bearing, light series. 06: bore code, 6 x 5 = 30 mm. B: FAG’s modified internal design, a 40° contact angle on single-row 72xx bearings. XL: Schaeffler X-life, the higher-performance manufacturing standard. TVP: solid window cage in glass-fibre reinforced polyamide, ball guided. P5: ISO tolerance class 5, equivalent to ABEC 5. UL: universal, light preload — faces ground so any two bearings of this designation clamp up to the same light preload in back-to-back, face-to-face or tandem arrangement.

What these specs mean in practice

40° is the thrust end of the contact-angle range: the steep angle puts the ball load path close to axial, giving the highest thrust capacity and axial stiffness of the three common angles. The trade is speed — centrifugal ball loading and heat rise faster with rpm at 40° than at 15°. A 40° angle with a light preload delivers high one-way thrust capability and a stiff, play-free pair without the heat a medium or heavy preload adds. The UL universal grinding makes that pair practical: two bearings clamp together to a repeatable preload with no shims and no bench measurement. P5 / ABEC 5 tightens bore, outside diameter, width and running accuracy well beyond a standard bearing, at less cost than P4 — the grade for precision feed screws, indexing drives and gear-quality shafting.

Quantity and configuration

Unit Quantity: 1 Pc. Arrangement / Configuration: UL, universal and universally ground, so two of these clamp up into a defined light-preload pair in DB, DF or DT.

Interchange guidance

Direct 30 x 62 x 16 mm 40° equivalents in the same universal light-preload configuration: SKF 7206 BEP/UL and 7206 BECBP, NSK 7206BSUP5, NTN 7206BP5, Koyo 7206B and Nachi 7206B — B means 40° in all of these schemes. Within FAG, 7206-B-XL-TVP is the standard-class version of this bearing, 7206-B-XL-TVP-UA and -UO are the other universal preload classes, and 7206-B-XL-MP is the machined brass-cage variant for higher temperature. Carried as same-envelope references with the difference named: SKF 7206 ACD/P4A and NSK 7206A5TYNSULP4 are 25°, SKF 7206 CD/P4A and NSK 7206CTYNSULP4 are 15°, and Fafnir / Timken 2MM206WI (15°) and 3MM206WI (25°) fit the same seats. Contact angle and preload class are the two fields that decide a substitution.
