The FAG 7212 BA12 L84 is a precision-engineered single-row angular contact ball bearing designed to handle combined radial and high axial loads simultaneously. Featuring a 40° contact angle (denoted by the 'B' in the designation), this bearing provides significantly higher axial load capacity and rigidity compared to standard 30° bearings, making it ideal for applications requiring precise shaft guidance and stiff systems. The proprietary 'L84' suffix confirms the use of a lightweight, highly durable textile laminate cage, which ensures excellent dimensional stability and superior performance in high-speed environments and under conditions of rapid acceleration or temperature variation.
Sourced from FAG/Schaeffler, this bearing conforms to stringent industrial quality standards, ensuring long operational life and maximized reliability in critical machinery. Commonly used in pump applications, high-speed gear drives, machine tool spindles (when installed in sets), and compressors, the 7212 BA12 L84 delivers robust performance and reduced maintenance cycles. While these bearings handle axial loads in one direction only and are typically mounted against a second bearing (duplex arrangement) to support opposing forces and achieve specified preload, the inherent FAG precision guarantees seamless installation and optimal system efficiency. Invest in premium quality to minimize downtime and elevate overall system performance.
Key Features
High Axial Load Capacity: Standard 40° contact angle ('B') optimizes the bearing for heavy thrust loads.
Enhanced High-Speed Performance: Equipped with a durable Textile Laminate Cage (L84 suffix) ideal for high limiting speeds and rapid acceleration.
