Self-Aligning Ball B. FAG 2213 -TVH

The 2213-TVH self-aligning ball bearing (65 x 120 x 31 mm) compensates for misalignment and guides two rows of balls with low vibration within a lightweight polyamide cage.

The double-row self-aligning ball bearing 2213 -TVH is an open rolling bearing made from standard bearing steel (100Cr6) with a 65 mm cylindrical bore. Thanks to the shared hollow-spherical raceway in the outer ring, this design automatically compensates for both static and dynamic misalignments between the shaft and housing. The bearing has an outer diameter of 120 mm and a width of 31 mm. For designers and maintenance engineers, the standard version in tolerance class P0/PN offers defined running characteristics in industrial drives.

In which installation situations does the 2213-TVH self-aligning ball bearing compensate for misalignment?

The 2213 -TVH self-aligning ball bearing is primarily used on long shafts where operational deflection or misalignment occurs. Typical applications can be found in general mechanical engineering and in industrial shaft bearings. Thanks to its double-row ball arrangement, the bearing absorbs radial forces and accommodates misalignment without increased edge pressure. The open design allows for flexible lubrication with grease or lubricating oil, depending on the system’s requirements.

What characteristics distinguish the TVH polyamide cage in operation?

The TVH suffix denotes a solid polyamide cage which guides the rolling elements with low vibration and reduces the overall weight of the bearing. The material promotes smooth running and is suitable for an operating temperature range of -30 to +120 degrees Celsius. As this is an open bearing, users select the lubricant to suit the specific environmental conditions and provide external seals to protect against contamination.
