Self-Aligning Ball B. FAG 2210 -TVH-C3

The 2210 -TVH-C3 self-aligning ball bearing from FAG Wälzlager, with main dimensions of 50 × 90 × 23 mm, compensates for misalignment during operation through angular movement.

The 2210 -TVH-C3 self-aligning ball bearing is a double-row rolling bearing made from standard 100Cr6 rolling bearing steel with a cylindrical bore in the standard version. A common spherical raceway in the outer ring allows the balls to move freely, enabling the bearing to accommodate misalignment and angular misalignment between the inner and outer rings without generating harmful forced forces. Manufactured to tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1, the bearing complies with the standardised specifications for dimensional and concentricity accuracy under radial main loads.

In which applications is the 2210 -TVH-C3 self-aligning ball bearing used?

This design is primarily used in shaft mountings where structural misalignments or elastic deflections of the supported shaft need to be compensated for. Such deviations frequently occur with large bearing spacings or in flexible housing designs. As an open rolling bearing, this variant has no integrated seals, which is why the bearing location must be externally sealed on site and continuously supplied with grease or lubricating oil via the housing system.

What are the distinctive features of the polyamide cage and C3 radial clearance in the 2210-TVH-C3?

The suffix ‘TVH’ stands for a lightweight polyamide cage, which guides both rows of balls with low friction and promotes quiet operation. Together with the slightly increased radial clearance C3, the bearing has greater radial clearance in its initial state. This prevents the rolling elements from seizing up if tight fits cause the inner ring to expand or if temperature differences occur between the shaft and the housing. The specified temperature range extends from -30 to +120 degrees, in line with the thermal behaviour of the polyamide material.
