Self-Aligning Ball B. FAG 1212 -TVH

The FAG 1212-TVH self-aligning ball bearing compensates for misalignment during operation and has dimensions of 60 × 110 × 22 mm.

The FAG 1212-TVH double-row self-aligning ball bearing absorbs radial forces and accommodates misalignment between the shaft and housing. A common hollow-ball raceway in the outer ring allows the two rows of balls to be freely adjusted. Thanks to this design, the rolling bearing compensates for operational deflection of long shafts as well as misalignment resulting from assembly. With a bore of 60 mm, an outer diameter of 110 mm and a width of 22 mm, it belongs to the 12 series.

What is the 1212-TVH self-aligning ball bearing suitable for?

This rolling bearing is typically used in shaft mountings where, due to manufacturing tolerances, it is difficult to align housings, or where shafts deflect elastically under load. As this is an open bearing without integrated seals, the installation location requires a protected environment or a separately sealed bearing housing. Lubrication is provided via housing systems, either with grease or oil.

What is the function of the TVH polyamide cage?

The suffix TVH denotes a polyamide cage that precisely maintains the spacing between the rolling elements. The material reduces the cage’s own weight and contributes to smooth bearing operation. The permissible temperature range is from –30 to +120 degrees Celsius. This design features a standard radial clearance and tolerance class P0, and is designed for standard fits in mechanical engineering.
