Self-Aligning Ball B. FAG 1205 -TVH-C3

The FAG 1205 -TVH-C3 double-row self-aligning ball bearing, measuring 25 × 52 × 15 mm, compensates for misalignment and offers reliable running characteristics.

The FAG 1205 -TVH-C3 double-row self-aligning ball bearing is designed for mounting positions where shaft deflection or misalignment may occur. Thanks to the shared hollow-spherical raceway in the outer ring, the two rows of balls adjust their angular alignment during operation. The open bearing, made from standard rolling-element bearing steel 100Cr6, has a cylindrical bore of 25 mm, an outer diameter of 52 mm and a width of 15 mm. This provides you with a precision-manufactured component in tolerance class P0/PN.

What is the 1205 -TVH-C3 self-aligning ball bearing suitable for?

This rolling bearing is used wherever static or dynamic angular misalignment between the shaft and housing needs to be compensated for. Typical applications include the mounting of long shafts and applications in general mechanical and plant engineering. As this is an open design, the bearing integrates directly into the customer’s lubrication system. Design engineers often favour this design when seeking to avoid the forced forces that would arise from shaft deflection in rigid bearings.

What do the polyamide cage and the C3 clearance mean for operation?

The suffix ‘TVH’ denotes a solid polyamide cage, which guides the rolling elements with minimal vibration and reduces the weight of the rotating masses. The increased C3 bearing clearance class provides additional radial play in the bearing. This clearance compensates for operational heating or tight fits without the bearing clearance narrowing to an impermissible extent. The permissible temperature range is from -30 to +120 degrees Celsius. As no integrated sealing washers are fitted, the bearing housing must be protected against the ingress of foreign particles.
