Self-Aligning Ball B. FAG 2206 -TVH

The FAG 2206-TVH double-row self-aligning ball bearing with a 30 mm bore compensates for angular misalignment and ensures quiet operation thanks to its polyamide cage.

The 2206 -TVH self-aligning ball bearing is a double-row rolling bearing made from standard bearing steel (100Cr6), manufactured to standard tolerance P0/PN (ABEC 1). Its hollow-spherical outer ring raceway allows the two rows of balls to automatically compensate for misalignment between the shaft and housing. With compact dimensions of 30 mm inner diameter, 62 mm outer diameter and 20 mm width, this open bearing primarily accommodates radial loads.

In which installation situations is the 2206-TVH self-aligning ball bearing used?

Design engineers and maintenance personnel prefer this design for bearing arrangements involving long shafts or split housings. If elastic deflection of the shaft or manufacturing-related misalignment occurs, the inner ring, together with the balls, tilts without causing harmful edge pressures on the raceways. Typical applications are found in general mechanical engineering for shaft guides that require a certain degree of angular flexibility. Thanks to its open design, the rolling bearing can be integrated directly into externally lubricated housing assemblies.

What are the distinctive features of the TVH polyamide cage?

The TVH suffix denotes a solid polyamide cage that precisely guides the two rows of balls. Compared to sheet metal cages, the thermoplastic cage is characterised by its low weight and its vibration- and noise-damping properties. The permissible temperature range for this bearing is from –30 to +120 degrees Celsius. As this model is manufactured with standard radial clearance, it is suitable for normal operating temperatures and standard shaft fits without exceptional thermal expansion.
