Self-Aligning Ball B. FAG 2208 -K-2RS-TVH-C3

The FAG 2208 -K-2RS-TVH-C3 self-aligning ball bearing, measuring 40x80x23 mm, reliably compensates for misalignment and protects against the ingress of dirt.

The 2208 -K-2RS-TVH-C3 self-aligning ball bearing is a double-row rolling bearing made from standard rolling bearing steel (100Cr6) for demanding industrial applications. The bearing automatically compensates for misalignment and shaft deflection, as the balls roll on a common hollow-spherical outer ring raceway. Fitted with sliding seals and a polyamide cage, this design is suitable for applications where protection against contamination and smooth running are paramount.

For which operating conditions is the 2208 -K-2RS-TVH-C3 self-aligning ball bearing suitable?

This rolling bearing is primarily used where misalignment between the housing and the shaft cannot be avoided during operation. Thanks to its double-row ball design, the bearing can handle radial loads whilst allowing for angular misalignment in shaft mountings prone to deflection. The 2RS seals on both sides protect against the ingress of dust and moisture and retain the internal grease fill within the bearing housing.

What do ‘tapered bore’ and ‘C3 clearance’ mean in relation to this bearing?

The ‘K’ designation refers to the tapered inner ring bore with a ratio of 1:12. This design facilitates mounting on stepped shafts or using a shrink sleeve, allowing you to adjust the operating clearance precisely. The increased C3 bearing clearance class helps to ensure that sufficient radial clearance remains even after press-fitting onto the tapered seat or in the event of operational heating. The TVH cage, made of polyamide, ensures low weight and low-vibration operation.
