Self-Aligning Ball B. FAG 1302 -TVH

The FAG 1302-TVH spherical ball bearing compensates for misalignment caused by shaft deflection and, with dimensions of 15 × 42 × 13 mm, offers a compact design for industrial bearing applications.

The 1302-TVH self-aligning ball bearing is a double-row rolling bearing with a hollow-spherical outer ring raceway, which accommodates radial loads and compensates for angular misalignment between the shaft and housing. As it is manufactured from standard roller bearing steel 100Cr6, the component can withstand mechanical stresses. It has a 15 mm bore, an outer diameter of 42 mm and a width of 13 mm. Design engineers and users employ this design primarily in bearing locations where shafts deflect elastically under operational loads or where there are misalignments resulting from the manufacturing process.

In which installation situations does the 1302-TVH self-aligning ball bearing compensate for misalignment?

This rolling bearing is suitable for designs with solid shafts where misalignment may occur between spaced bearing seats. Thanks to the shared hollow-spherical raceway in the outer ring, the two rows of balls adapt to angular movement during operation without causing impermissible edge pressures. Typical applications include rolling bearing arrangements with elastic shaft deflection or misalignment caused by installation. As this is an open bearing without integrated seals, the lubricant requirements can be individually adapted to the operating environment.

What features does the TVH cage offer in the 1302 self-aligning ball bearing?

The TVH suffix denotes a solid polyamide cage. This material has a low weight and guides the balls through the raceway with low noise and vibration damping. In combination with standard radial bearing clearance and tolerance class P0/PN (ABEC 1), the roller bearing operates within a temperature range of -30 to +120 degrees Celsius. To protect the interior from contamination, a suitable external seal is recommended around the housing.
