FAG 3216B.TVH Double Row Angular Contact Ball Bearing

Description

The FAG 3216B.TVH is a high-performance double-row angular contact ball bearing designed for applications requiring rigid bearing arrangements and the ability to accommodate combined radial and axial loads in both directions. Manufactured in Germany by FAG (Schaeffler Group), this bearing features a 40-degree contact angle ('B') for high axial load capacity and a durable glass fibre reinforced polyamide cage ('TVH'). Its open design allows for easy lubrication and maintenance.

FAQ

Question?
What is the significance of the 'B' and 'TVH' suffixes in the 3216B.TVH model number?
Answer:
The 'B' suffix indicates a standard contact angle of 40 degrees, which provides a high axial load carrying capacity. The 'TVH' suffix denotes a snap-type cage made of glass fibre reinforced polyamide 66, which is lightweight, has good sliding properties, and is suitable for high speeds.

Question?
Can this bearing accommodate misalignment between the shaft and housing?
Answer:
Double-row angular contact bearings, like the 3216B.TVH, can only accommodate very slight misalignment. Any significant misalignment will increase noise, reduce bearing life, and can lead to premature failure. It is crucial to ensure precise alignment during installation.

Question?
What type of lubrication is recommended for the FAG 3216B.TVH, and what are the initial lubrication requirements?
Answer:
This bearing is an open type and is typically grease lubricated for most applications. The choice of grease depends on the operating speed, temperature, and load. Before installation, it should be filled with a suitable high-quality bearing grease. For high-speed applications, oil lubrication might be necessary.
