Deep Groove Ball Bearings FAG 4218 -B-TVH

The FAG 4218 -B-TVH deep-groove ball bearing, with two rows of balls and a 90 mm bore, provides a high-load-capacity bearing solution for demanding industrial applications.

The double-row deep-groove ball bearing 4218 -B-TVH provides designers and maintenance engineers with an open rolling bearing for shafts with a diameter of 90 mm. FAG manufactures rings and rolling elements from standard 100Cr6 bearing steel to tolerance class P0 (ABEC 1). Thanks to the two rows of balls, the unit can withstand higher radial loads than single-row variants with a comparable bore. The component does not require an integrated seal and features a cylindrical outer ring without a flange or groove.

What is the 4218 -B-TVH double-row deep groove ball bearing suitable for?

Designs requiring higher radial load capacity and with limited axial installation space benefit from the double-row configuration of this design. The 4218 -B-TVH deep groove ball bearing is primarily used in bearing arrangements where shaft diameters of 90 mm are accommodated and increased radial loads are applied. As this is an open bearing, it is preferably integrated into sealed housings which feature their own sealing system to prevent the ingress of contaminants and allow for continuous oil or grease lubrication.

What are the characteristics of the polyamide cage and bearing clearance?

The letters ‘TVH’ in the suffix combination denote a lightweight, solid polyamide cage which guides the rolling elements and dampens running noise during operation. Together with the standard radial bearing clearance, the bearing is suitable for applications with typical operating temperatures and standard fit conditions on the shaft and housing. The permissible temperature range extends from -30 °C to +120 °C, enabling the component to cope with a wide thermal range in everyday industrial use.
