Self-Aligning Ball B. FAG 2202 -TVH-C3

FAG double-row self-aligning ball bearing 2202 -TVH-C3 with a 15 mm bore, polyamide cage and C3 clearance to compensate for misalignment in rotating systems.

The 2202 -TVH-C3 self-aligning ball bearing from FAG Rolling Bearings is a double-row rolling bearing made from standard bearing steel (100Cr6) with a common hollow-spherical raceway in the outer ring. This design elastically compensates for misalignment between the inner and outer rings during operation. With its compact dimensions of 15 mm inner diameter and 35 mm outer diameter, and a width of 14 mm, the bearing is suitable for shafts where deflection or misalignment may occur.

What is the 2202 -TVH-C3 double-row self-aligning ball bearing suitable for?

This design is suitable for bearing locations where misalignment or dynamic shaft deflection needs to be compensated for. As the two rows of balls run in the spherical outer ring raceway, the bearing flexibly adapts to angular misalignment without significantly increasing friction. As an open rolling bearing without sealing washers, this design is intended for oil or grease lubrication within a protected housing environment, allowing the lubricant to reach the rolling elements directly.

What features do the polyamide cage and C3 bearing clearance offer in the 2202-TVH-C3?

The TVH design features a dimensionally stable, solid polyamide cage which guides the rolling elements with minimal vibration and reduces the bearing’s moment of inertia. The permissible temperature range extends from –30 to +120 degrees Celsius. The suffix C3 indicates a slightly increased radial bearing clearance compared with the standard version. This clearance counteracts stresses during operation when tight fits on the shaft cause the inner ring to expand or when temperature differences occur between the inner and outer rings. The bearing complies with tolerance class P0 or ABEC 1.
