Barrel Roller Bearings FAG 20213 -TVP

The FAG 20213-TVP spherical roller bearing (65x120x23 mm) accommodates high radial loads and compensates for misalignment with angular movement.

The 20213 -TVP spherical roller bearing is a single-row rolling bearing designed for applications involving high radial forces and potential shaft deflection. The manufacturer, FAG Rolling Bearings, produces this version with a cylindrical bore and standard radial clearance. Thanks to the crowned barrel rollers in the outer ring, the bearing self-aligns, thereby compensating for misalignment between the shaft and housing. The dimensions are 65 mm bore diameter, 120 mm outer diameter and 23 mm width. The open design allows the bearing to be lubricated flexibly according to individual operating requirements.

In which applications is the 20213-TVP barrel bearing used?

The 20213 -TVP barrel bearing is primarily used in designs where significant radial forces and elastic shaft deflections occur. The bearing’s angular adjustment effectively reduces edge pressures on the rolling elements. As this is an open bearing without integrated seals, it is typically installed in protected housings with on-site sealing to prevent ingress of dirt and lubricant leakage.

What are the distinctive features of the version with a polyamide cage?

The suffix ‘TVP’ denotes a polyamide cage. This material ensures flexible guidance of the barrel rollers, operates quietly and reduces the bearing’s own weight. The permissible temperature range is between –30 and +120 degrees Celsius. Manufacturing is carried out to tolerance class P0 (standard tolerance or ABEC 1). For correct operation, the open version requires a suitable lubricant, tailored to the respective operating temperatures.
