Self-Aligning Ball B. FAG 2206 -TVH-C3

The 2206 -TVH-C3 self-aligning ball bearing, measuring 30 × 62 × 20 mm, compensates for misalignment and, thanks to its increased C3 bearing clearance, provides thermal reserves during operation.

The 2206 -TVH-C3 self-aligning ball bearing is a double-row rolling bearing in tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1 for rotating shafts. Manufactured by FAG Wälzlager, the bearing features a common hollow-spherical raceway in the outer ring. As a result, this design automatically compensates for misalignment or shaft deflection during operation. With a bore of 30 mm, an outside diameter of 62 mm and a width of 20 mm, the bearing meets standardised key dimensions. The open design is suitable for use in lubrication systems with oil lubrication or regular grease supply.

In which installation situations does the 2206 -TVH-C3 self-aligning ball bearing compensate for misalignment?

This design is primarily used where shafts deflect elastically under load or where manufacturing-related misalignments occur between separate bearing positions. The material, made from standard roller bearing steel (100Cr6), absorbs the radial loads that occur. The open design allows lubricant to be supplied and monitored as required.

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

The suffix ‘TVH’ denotes a polyamide cage which guides the two rows of balls quietly and dampens vibrations. The permissible temperature range is from –30 to +120 degrees. The designation ‘C3’ stands for a slightly increased radial clearance. This variant compensates for thermal expansion caused by temperature differences between the inner and outer rings, or compensates for bearing play when tight fits are selected. Before assembly, it is advisable to check whether the lubricants and operating temperatures are compatible with the polyamide cage.
