Self-Aligning Ball B. FAG 2216 -K-TVH-C3

The FAG 2216 -K-TVH-C3 self-aligning ball bearing compensates for misalignment and, with dimensions of 80 × 140 × 33 mm, offers a robust load-carrying capacity for demanding shaft mountings.

The FAG 2216 -K-TVH-C3 double-row self-aligning ball bearing is designed for mounting positions with shaft deflection or misalignment. Thanks to the shared hollow-spherical outer ring raceway, the two rows of balls self-align during operation. Manufactured from standard rolling-bearing steel 100Cr6, this open rolling bearing combines mechanical strength with smooth running. The design complies with tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1 and is suitable for industrial applications where angular misalignment needs to be elastically compensated.

What is the 2216 -K-TVH-C3 self-aligning ball bearing suitable for?

This self-aligning bearing is primarily used where long shafts are prone to deflection or where misalignment occurs between the housing seats. Thanks to its double-row design, the bearing absorbs radial forces as well as axial forces acting on both sides, whilst compensating for misalignment. Typical applications are found in general mechanical engineering in shaft guides prone to deflection. As the bearing is an open design, the lubricant can be flexibly adapted to the specific operating environment.

What are the special features of a tapered bore and C3 clearance?

The suffix ‘K’ denotes a tapered bore with a taper ratio of 1:12. This allows the bearing to be mounted either directly onto tapered shaft journals or, using a suitable adapter sleeve, onto cylindrical shafts. The slightly increased radial bearing clearance C3 prevents the internal bearing clearance from decreasing to an impermissible level during radial mounting or as a result of operational heating. In addition, the TVH polyamide cage ensures low inertia and quiet running within the permissible temperature range of -30 to +120 degrees Celsius.
