Angular Contact Ball B. FAG E20 -TVP

The E20-TVP angular contact ball bearing from FAG Wälzlager accommodates combined radial and single-direction axial loads whilst maintaining compact dimensions of 20 × 47 × 12 mm.

The E20-TVP angular contact ball bearing is a single-row rolling bearing made from standard bearing steel (100Cr6) with a bore of 20 mm, an outer diameter of 47 mm and a width of 12 mm. This open bearing from FAG Rolling Bearings features a dimensionally stable polyamide cage and standard radial clearance. Thanks to the raceways in the inner and outer rings being arranged at an angle to one another, the design supports radial forces together with axial forces in one direction. This design is primarily used where standard radial ball bearings can no longer accommodate the axial component of the load.

What loads and operating conditions determine the use of the E20-TVP?

This single-row bearing is primarily used in shaft mountings where, in addition to radial forces, defined axial forces act in one direction. Common applications can be found in general mechanical engineering as well as in designs subject to combined loads. As this is an open bearing without integrated sealing washers, lubrication must be provided via a lubrication system or a protected housing. The standard tolerance P0/PN version meets common industrial requirements for concentricity and dimensional accuracy.

What role does the polyamide cage play in the E20-TVP?

The built-in polyamide cage (suffix TVP) is characterised by low friction and smooth running. When designing the bearing, the permissible temperature range of –20 to +120 degrees must be taken into account, as plastics are more sensitive to overheating than sheet steel. The bearing has a standard radial clearance and an outer ring without a flange or groove. Correct alignment is crucial during installation, as single-row angular contact ball bearings can only accommodate axial forces in the direction of the thrust shoulder.
