Barrel Roller Bearings FAG 20216 -K-TVP-C3

The single-row FAG spherical roller bearing 20216 -K-TVP-C3 (80x140x26 mm) offers high radial load-carrying capacity in the event of misalignment, thanks to its tapered bore and increased C3 clearance.

The FAG 20216 -K-TVP-C3 spherical roller bearing is a self-aligning roller bearing designed for demanding radial loads. With an 80 mm bore, an outer diameter of 140 mm and a width of 26 mm, the spherical roller design compensates for shaft deflection. Designed as an open bearing, the lubricant can be applied directly. The material of the TVP polyamide cage withstands temperatures ranging from –30 to +120 degrees, whilst manufacture to tolerance class P0 ensures standardised dimensional accuracy.

What is the 20216 -K-TVP-C3 spherical roller bearing suitable for in operation?

This rolling bearing is suitable for designs in which high radial forces act on the bearing location and angular misalignment occurs at the same time. Typical applications are found in general mechanical engineering on long shaft guides that are subject to elastic deflection. The bearing automatically compensates for misalignment between the housing and the shaft. As this is an open design, you can flexibly determine the type of lubricant and relubrication intervals based on the environmental conditions of your plant.

What are the advantages of a tapered bore and C3 clearance?

The suffix ‘K’ denotes the tapered bore with a ratio of 1:12. This design facilitates mounting on tapered shaft seats or, with the aid of suitable clamping sleeves, on cylindrical shafts. When fitted onto the tapered seat, the radial clearance is measurably reduced. This is why this design comes with a slightly increased C3 bearing clearance as standard. It compensates for the compression of the inner ring and operational thermal expansion, and prevents seizing during continuous operation.
