Angular Contact Ball B. FAG M20 -TVP

The FAG M20-TVP single-row angular contact ball bearing, with dimensions of 20 × 52 × 15 mm, accommodates combined radial and axial loads.

The M20-TVP angular contact ball bearing is an open, single-row rolling bearing designed for applications in mechanical and plant engineering. Manufactured from standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6), this version combines a bore of 20 mm with an outside diameter of 52 mm and a width of 15 mm. Due to the angular arrangement of the raceways, the design accommodates radial forces as well as defined axial forces in one direction. The integrated polyamide cage keeps the rolling elements spaced apart and guides them with low friction during operation.

What is the M20-TVP angular contact ball bearing suitable for?

This bearing is primarily used in bearing locations where combined loads occur and axial forces act from a fixed direction. Typical applications are found in general mechanical engineering on rotating shafts with axial guidance. As this is an open bearing without a flange or groove on the outer ring, it can be fitted precisely into housings. For varying axial force directions, a paired arrangement with a second angular contact ball bearing is recommended.

What are the distinctive features of the TVP design?

The designation TVP refers to the version with a polyamide cage. This material is characterised by its low weight and smooth running behaviour. The component is designed for a temperature range of -20 to +120 degrees. Thanks to its open design, the lubricant can be selected to suit the specific application. To protect the bearing from contamination, seals must be fitted in the surrounding housing by the customer.
