Barrel Roller Bearings FAG 20311 -TVP

The 20311-TVP spherical roller bearing from FAG Rolling Bearings, with a 55 mm bore and an outer diameter of 120 mm, provides angular misalignment compensation for heavy radial loads.

The 20311-TVP barrel roller bearing is a single-row roller bearing that accommodates high radial forces and automatically compensates for shaft misalignment. The barrel-shaped rollers run in a hollow-spherical outer ring raceway. The component is manufactured by FAG Wälzlager and has dimensions of 55x120x29 mm. It is suitable for applications in mechanical and plant engineering where deflection or misalignment may occur.

What is the 20311-TVP barrel bearing suitable for in operation?

This bearing is primarily used in designs subject to intermittent radial loads. Thanks to its angularly adjustable design, the component compensates for misalignment between the housing and the shaft during operation without generating edge pressures on the rollers. Typical applications include industrial shaft bearings subject to high radial forces. Design engineers use this design where shaft deflection under load cannot be completely prevented by the design itself.

What are the key features of the open version with a polyamide cage?

The version with the suffix TVP features a polyamide cage, which ensures quiet running and reduced component weight. As this is an open bearing without an integrated seal, the housing must be sealed externally against dirt and moisture. The component has a standard radial bearing clearance and is suitable for a temperature range of -30 to +120 degrees. It is manufactured to tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1.
