Cylindrical Roller Bearings FAG N208 -E-XL-TVP2-C3

The FAG N208 -E-XL-TVP2-C3 single-row cylindrical roller bearing, with a 40 mm bore, withstands high radial loads and serves as an axial non-locating bearing.

The FAG N208 -E-XL-TVP2-C3 cylindrical roller bearing is a single-row radial roller bearing designed for demanding industrial applications. With a bore of 40 mm, an outer diameter of 80 mm and a width of 18 mm, the design withstands high radial loads. The cylindrical rollers create line contact with the raceway, giving the bearing high radial rigidity. As the outer ring is flangeless on both sides, this open bearing functions purely as a non-locating bearing.

In which assemblies does the N208 -E-XL-TVP2-C3 cylindrical roller bearing prove its worth?

Design engineers specifically use this non-locating bearing where thermal effects cause the shaft to change in length. As the flangeless outer ring can slide axially relative to the inner ring, the bearing compensates for longitudinal expansion internally without any constraint. Typical applications include shaft mountings subject to high radial loads. Thanks to its open design without seals, the bearing is integrated directly into lubricated housings in which oil or grease circulates. The permissible temperature range is from –30 to +120 degrees.

What do the C3 clearance and TVP2 cage mean for this bearing?

The suffix C3 indicates a slightly increased radial bearing clearance compared to the standard value. This reserve helps to prevent the rolling elements from becoming stressed when operational heating or tight fits reduce the operating clearance. The TVP2 polyamide cage ensures smooth, low-friction operation. In addition, the separable N design facilitates installation in the housing: you remove the outer ring from both sides and mount the inner ring together with the roller set separately onto the shaft. The open bearing complies with tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1 and does not require lubrication holes in the outer ring.
