The FAG self-aligning ball bearing is a self-aligning bearing with two rows of balls, designed to accommodate angular misalignment between shaft and housing. Its spherical outer raceway allows the inner ring to tilt without losing load capacity, which simplifies mounting and absorbs alignment errors. It is used in applications where the shaft can flex or the support is not perfectly rigid. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line with technical advice so you can choose the correct part number.

The designation of this series reads as follows: the basic number indicates the size, the letter K indicates that the bore is tapered (mounting on a tapered shaft), TVH identifies the polyamide cage reinforced with fiberglass, and C3 the increased internal radial clearance. For example, 1204-K-TVH-C3 corresponds to a bearing of series 12 with tapered bore, TVH cage and C3 clearance. The examples 1205-K-TVH-C3, 1206-K-TVH-C3 and 1207-K-TVH-C3 follow the same logic. Knowing these suffixes allows you to request the exact part number your equipment needs.

In Argentine industry, these bearings appear in belt conveyors, textile machines, bottling equipment, fans and mixers. They are also found on long transmission shafts, where shaft flex requires self-alignment. With two rows of balls, they support moderate radial and axial loads in both directions. They are a common option in food, chemical and process plants, where cleanliness and robust mounting are critical.

To select the correct bearing, take into account the bore type: the series with K is mounted on a tapered shaft, generally with an adapter sleeve, which facilitates adjustment of the radial clearance. The TVH cage is made of polyamide, suitable for moderate temperatures and standard lubrication. The suffix C3 indicates a greater internal clearance than normal, recommended when there is interference fit or thermal gradients. Check the initial alignment and choose the lubricant according to the service conditions.

Self-aligning ball bearings are interchangeable between manufacturers if the main dimensions, bore type and clearance match. A part number with suffix K and C3 from another brand can replace the FAG one if it maintains those characteristics. However, tolerances and cage materials may vary, so it is advisable to confirm the equivalence with a specialist. At MR Accesorios Industriales we help you validate interchangeability before purchasing.
