Barrel Roller Bearings FAG 20208 -TVP

The FAG 20208-TVP spherical roller bearing, measuring 40 x 80 x 18 mm, provides angular misalignment compensation for high radial loads in continuous industrial operation.

The FAG 20208 -TVP spherical roller bearing is a single-row rolling bearing with a spherical outer ring raceway, which accommodates radial loads and compensates for shaft misalignment. With a 40 mm bore, 80 mm outer diameter and 18 mm width, this design is suitable for installation locations with deflection or misalignment. Thanks to its standard radial clearance and tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1, the bearing can be incorporated into standardised machine set-ups.

When does the 20208-TVP barrel roller bearing compensate for misalignment?

Its use is recommended at bearing locations where high radial forces occur and misalignments between the shaft and housing are present. Thanks to the barrel-shaped rollers, the design compensates for angular deviations without causing harmful edge pressures on the rolling elements. Typical installation locations include shaft guides that are prone to elastic deformation under load. In conjunction with external housing seals, the open design forms a maintenance-friendly unit for radial loads.

What are the characteristics of the TVP polyamide cage?

The TVP cage, made of polyamide, promotes smooth running and reduces the moving mass within the rolling bearing. At operating temperatures ranging from –30 to +120 degrees, the material retains its stability and dampens dynamic loads. As this is an open bearing without an integrated seal, the lubrication is tailored directly to the ambient conditions. The normal radial bearing clearance helps to ensure that the bearing can rotate freely even when heated during operation.
