Self-Aligning Ball B. FAG 2212 -K-TVH-C3

The FAG 2212 -K-TVH-C3 double-row self-aligning ball bearing with a 60 mm tapered bore compensates for misalignment and is suitable for industrial bearing applications.

The FAG 2212 -K-TVH-C3 self-aligning ball bearing is a double-row rolling bearing with a hollow-spherical outer ring raceway. With key dimensions of a 60 mm bore, 110 mm outer diameter and 28 mm width, this bearing primarily accommodates radial forces. Thanks to its self-aligning design, it automatically compensates for misalignment between the inner and outer rings. As an open design, the bearing is designed for operation with external lubrication.

Where is the 2212 -K-TVH-C3 self-aligning ball bearing used?

The bearing is primarily used in bearing locations where operational shaft deflection or misalignment between the housing seats needs to be compensated for. Thanks to the 100Cr6 material and the elastic polyamide cage, the rolling bearing operates within a temperature range of –30 to +120 degrees Celsius. Typical applications are found in mechanical and plant engineering for shafts prone to deflection.

What is the function of the tapered bore and C3 clearance?

The suffix ‘K’ denotes the tapered bore with a taper ratio of 1:12, which allows the bearing to be flexibly mounted using a shrink sleeve or directly onto a tapered shaft seat. The designation C3 stands for a slightly increased radial bearing clearance. This increased operating clearance compensates for the radial reduction in bearing clearance when the inner ring is pressed onto the shaft, as well as for thermal expansion during operation.
