Barrel Roller Bearings FAG 20304 -TVP

The FAG 20304-TVP spherical roller bearing (20x52x15 mm) withstands high radial loads and compensates for misalignment with angular flexibility and low noise.

The FAG 20304 -TVP barrel bearing is a single-row roller bearing with barrel-shaped rolling elements and a hollow-spherical outer ring raceway. This design automatically compensates for angular misalignment between the shaft and housing. With a 20 mm bore, 52 mm outer diameter and 15 mm width, the component fits precisely into standardised bearing seats. As an open design, the roller bearing can be flexibly integrated into existing lubrication systems.

What loads can the 20304-TVP barrel bearing accommodate?

Designs subject to predominantly radial forces and shaft deflection benefit from this design. The crowned rolling elements distribute the load evenly across the raceway in the outer ring. The bearing compensates for misalignment through angular adjustment, thereby preventing harmful edge stresses at the ends of the rollers. The single-row design is particularly suitable for demanding bearing locations in general mechanical engineering.

What distinguishes the variant with the TVP polyamide cage?

The suffix TVP stands for a dimensionally stable, solid polyamide cage. This material reduces the frictional torque in the rolling element set and minimises noise during operation. The component is designed for a temperature range of -30 to +120 degrees. Thanks to the standard radial bearing clearance and tolerance class P0/PN, the bearing assembly offers reliable concentricity for standardised shaft fits.
