Angular Contact Ball B. FAG 3220

The FAG 3220 double-row angular contact ball bearing (100 × 180 × 60.3 mm) accommodates high radial forces as well as axial forces on both sides in mechanical engineering applications.

The 3220 angular contact ball bearing is an open, double-row rolling bearing made from standard bearing steel (100Cr6). Due to the arrangement of two rows of balls, the internal design functions in the same way as two single-row bearings placed opposite each other, whilst requiring less axial installation space. Fitted with a sheet steel cage and standard radial clearance, this FAG roller bearing is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. It is used where combined forces need to be effectively supported.

What is the 3220 double-row angular contact ball bearing suitable for?

The double-row angular contact ball bearing 3220 is particularly suitable for bearing locations where, in addition to strong radial forces, axial forces act in both directions. Thanks to its defined internal geometry, the bearing offers high rigidity against tilting moments on the shaft.

Typical applications include general mechanical engineering and gearbox construction, as well as industrial powertrains. As this is an open design, lubrication is provided via a housing lubrication system or by manual greasing during assembly.

What distinguishes the open design of the 3220 bearing?

The open design of the 3220 bearing does not feature integrated sealing washers. This means there are no friction losses caused by rubbing sealing lips, which enables favourable running characteristics within a temperature range of -20 to +150 °C.

When designing the bearing mounting, a suitable external housing seal must be provided to protect the bearing from dirt and moisture. With key dimensions of a 100 mm bore, 180 mm outer diameter and 60.3 mm width, the rolling bearing can be precisely fitted into housing openings in accordance with tolerance class P0/PN.
