Angular Contact Ball B. FAG 3214 -B-TVH

The FAG 3214 -B-TVH angular contact ball bearing accommodates combined loads and features compact dimensions of 70 × 125 × 39.7 mm for demanding shaft support applications.

The FAG 3214 -B-TVH double-row angular contact ball bearing is designed to support rotating shafts whilst withstanding simultaneous loads from the radial direction and from both axial directions. Thanks to its contact angle of 40 degrees, this design can accommodate high axial forces. Manufactured from standard rolling-element bearing steel (100Cr6) with standard radial clearance and tolerance class P0/PN (ABEC 1), this component is suitable for precision mounting applications in general mechanical engineering.

What types of loads is the 3214 -B-TVH angular contact ball bearing suitable for?

This double-row design supports combined loads when transverse forces and longitudinal forces acting in both directions are applied simultaneously to the bearing mounting. Compared to two paired single-row bearings, this design requires less axial space on the shaft. As this is an open rolling bearing without integrated seals, the unit operates in lubricated housings fitted with external seals. The outer ring is designed without a flange or groove, which facilitates installation in cylindrical housing bores.

What are the distinctive features of the polyamide cage in this design?

The suffix TVH denotes a polyamide cage that guides the rolling elements with low friction. The material dampens running noise and is designed for temperatures ranging from –20 to +120 degrees Celsius. When selecting a lubricant, care should be taken to ensure that the lubricants used are compatible with polyamide. This helps to support the function of the raceways during operation.
