Overview
The FAG 7214B-UA is a single-row angular contact ball bearing manufactured by Schaeffler Technologies (FAG division). This universal-design bearing is engineered for industrial machinery requiring combined radial and axial load support at high rotational speeds. New condition, no box.
Key Features
- 40° Contact Angle: Asymmetric races provide high axial load capacity in one direction while supporting radial loads simultaneously.
- Universal (UA) Design: Pairs of identical bearings can be arranged in O or X configurations with slight axial internal clearance for flexible mounting.
- Cage Options: Available with polyamide (TVP), brass (MP), or sheet metal (JP) cages—verify exact variant before ordering.
- Open Configuration: Requires on-site lubrication; suitable for clean environments with negligible exposure to contaminants.
- ISO/DIN Compliant: Meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN) standards.

Typical Applications
The FAG 7214B-UA is widely used in industrial automation and mechanical power transmission systems where combined radial and axial loads must be supported:
- Gearboxes and transmission assemblies
- Spindle bearings in machine tools and precision equipment
- Compressors and pump assemblies
- Turbine and generator shafts
- Textile and printing machinery
- Automotive and industrial pumps
- High-speed rotating equipment requiring stiffness and accuracy
Compatibility & Replacements
Compatible With
- Schaeffler FAG bearing housings and supports rated for 70mm bore diameters
- Industrial machinery requiring ISO 15:1 (P6) precision-grade angular contact bearings
- Paired arrangements in O-arrangement (face-to-face) and X-arrangement (back-to-back) shaft configurations
- Lubrication systems suitable for grease or oil application in open bearing designs
Replaces / Drop-In Replacement For
The 7214B-UA designation is universal across Schaeffler’s FAG product line. Depending on cage material and internal construction, this bearing supersedes or directly replaces:
- 7214-B (standard angular contact)
- Consolidated 7214 B
- Rollway 7214 B
- Other 70x125x24 mm single-row angular contact bearings with UA (universal) mounting designation
Note: Cage type variants (TVP polyamide, MP brass, JP sheet metal, XL extended inner ring) have different load ratings and operating characteristics. Verify your original bearing’s cage type and internal construction before substituting.
Works With
- Industrial bearing lubricants (grease and oil) suitable for 40° angular contact designs
- Standard bearing mounting tools and shaft/housing fits per DIN 625 and ISO 286
- Sealed bearing covers and shields (bearing is open; external sealing recommended)
- Computerized condition monitoring and vibration analysis systems for predictive maintenance
