The FAG self-aligning ball bearing is a self-aligning double-row ball bearing, designed for shafts that may present misalignment or deflection. Its spherical outer raceway allows the inner ring to adjust without losing function. It is used in fans, pumps, conveyors and equipment where perfect alignment is not guaranteed. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line as a brand, with technical advice to choose the correct variant.
The series designation is read in blocks: the base number indicates the size, the letter K the tapered bore, 2RS the double-lip seals, TVH the polyamide cage reinforced with fiberglass and C3 the increased internal clearance. For example, 2205-K-2RS-TVH-C3 combines all those variants. If the code does not include K, the bore is cylindrical; if it does not include 2RS, it is open. Knowing each suffix prevents ordering a variant that does not match the mounting.
In Argentine industry these bearings appear in centrifugal fans, centrifugal pumps, belt conveyors, textile machines and process equipment. They are also found in applications where the shaft flexes or where the frame is not rigid. Being self-aligning, they tolerate small mounting errors and seat wear. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies them for plants and workshops throughout the country.
To select correctly, take into account the bore type: the tapered K is mounted with an adapter sleeve, which simplifies adjustment on existing shafts. The 2RS seal protects against dust and moisture, but does not replace proper lubrication. The C3 clearance is useful when there is thermal expansion or interference fits. The TVH cage better withstands vibration and frequent starts. Verify alignment and lubrication before start-up.
Self-aligning ball bearings are available in different brands with equivalent nomenclatures. The 22 series with K, 2RS, TVH and C3 suffixes usually has direct correspondence between manufacturers, but it is advisable to confirm dimensions and internal clearance before replacing. Not all interchangeable codes maintain the same tolerances or the same cage type. If you have doubts, send us the complete code and we'll help you find the equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the dimensions of the FAG 2208-K-2RS-TVH-C3 bearing?
- The FAG 2208-K-2RS-TVH-C3 bearing has a 40 mm bore, a 80 mm outside diameter and a 23 mm width (40 x 80 x 23 mm). These are the standardised boundary dimensions (ISO 15) of the basic designation 2208.
- What does the K suffix mean on a self-aligning ball bearing?
- The letter K indicates that the bore is tapered, with a 1:12 taper. It is mounted with an adapter sleeve or directly on a tapered shaft. This facilitates adjustment and disassembly in equipment where the shaft is already machined.
- When is a bearing with C3 clearance recommended?
- C3 clearance is chosen when the bearing operates at high temperatures, with interference fits or loads that generate expansion. Greater clearance prevents the balls from becoming preloaded and wearing prematurely. If the equipment does not have those conditions, normal clearance can be used.
- How do I request a quote for a FAG bearing from MR?
- Write to us by WhatsApp with the complete code, for example 2205-K-2RS-TVH-C3, or with the shaft and housing measurements. We'll reply shortly with the available variant and alternatives if it does not match the code exactly.
