7205-B-XL-TVP-UO Angular Contact Ball Bearing 25x52x15 Mm 40° Contact Angle Universal Pairing X-Life

Technical Specifications

Design Features & Suffix Breakdown

The designation 7205-B-XL-TVP-UO reveals key characteristics:

7205 – Basic Size Series

Defines the bearing's dimensions: 25 mm bore, 52 mm outer diameter, 15 mm width. This series offers a robust load-carrying capacity.

B – 40° Contact Angle

The B suffix indicates a 40° contact angle. This large angle provides high axial load capacity and is ideal for applications requiring significant axial rigidity or precise axial positioning.

XL – X-life Long-Life Design

XL signifies FAG’s X-life quality, which delivers:

• Higher load ratings and longer fatigue life (optimized internal geometry, better steel quality)

• Reduced heat generation – allows higher operating speeds

• Extended lubrication intervals – lower total cost of ownership

TVP – Glass-Fiber Reinforced Polyamide Cage

TVP denotes a window-type cage made of glass-fiber reinforced PA66 (polyamide). Benefits include:

• Lightweight and high strength

• Good self-lubricating properties

• Low friction and noise, suitable for high speeds

UO – Universal Pairing / Zero Clearance

This is a critical feature for precision mounting:

• Universal (U) – Bearings are manufactured with extremely tight tolerances so that any two or more bearings of the same type can be mounted in an O‑arrangement (back‑to‑back) or X‑arrangement (face‑to‑face) without selective fitting.

• Zero Clearance (O) – When paired O‑ or X‑arrangement, the bearing set achieves zero internal clearance / light preload, providing high rigidity and precise axial guidance.

Typical Applications

Thanks to its 40° contact angle, X-life quality, and universal pairing design, the 7205-B-XL-TVP-UO is used where speed, precision, and combined loads are required.
