Barrel Roller Bearings FAG 20215 -TVP

The FAG 20215-TVP barrel roller bearing, measuring 75 × 130 × 25 mm and featuring a polyamide cage, provides an angularly adjustable guide for high radial loads.

The 20215 -TVP barrel roller bearing is a single-row roller bearing with barrel-shaped rollers and a hollow-ball-shaped outer ring raceway. Thanks to this design, the component automatically compensates for misalignment and shaft deflection. Designed as an open bearing, it can be flexibly integrated into the lubrication system of the respective design. With the standardised tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1, the model meets industrial specifications for dimensional accuracy and concentricity.

What is the FAG 20215-TVP barrel bearing suitable for?

This design is primarily used in bearing arrangements where high radial forces act and angular misalignments may occur. Typical applications can be found in general mechanical engineering and in shaft bearings where misalignment needs to be compensated for. As the rollers oscillate within the spherical outer raceway, the bearing compensates for operational deflections with angular movement. The design distributes sudden radial loads evenly across the rolling elements, thereby preventing edge pressures on the raceways.

What is the function of the TVP polyamide cage?

The suffix ‘TVP’ denotes a dimensionally stable, solid cage made of polyamide. This cage guides the barrel rollers and is characterised by its low weight and good damping properties. When designing the bearing, the permissible operating temperature range of -30 to +120 degrees Celsius must be taken into account. As the bearing is of an open design, a suitable housing seal protects the bearing location from the ingress of dirt and moisture.
