How to read FAG 3203-BD-XL-2HRS-TVH
- 32Series
- Angular contact ball bearings, 32 series. For the same bore, each series has a different outside diameter and width.
- 03Bore
- 17 mm bore: code 03 stands for 17 mm by standard.
- BD-XL-2HRS-TVHSuffix
- FAG suffix: it defines the variant (sealing, cage, internal clearance or other features).
3203 is the standard (ISO) basic designation: it defines the type, the series and the bore.

FAG 32..-BD series angular contact bearings are ball bearings with raceways that support combined radial and axial loads in one direction. They are used in applications where a shaft must be guided precisely and moderate axial forces transmitted, such as gearboxes, pumps, fans or machine tools. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line, with technical advice to choose the right part number.
The designation of this series is read as follows: the basic number (3202, 3203, 3204, etc.) indicates the size and load capacity; the BD suffix identifies the single row angular contact design with modified raceways; XL indicates the optimized cage design and surface treatment; 2HRS corresponds to the double-lip seal on both sides, which retains lubrication and blocks the entry of contaminants; and TVH designates the glass fiber reinforced polyamide cage, ball-guided. Part numbers such as 3205-BD-XL-2HRS-TVH or 3208-BD-XL-2HRS-TVH combine all these elements.
In Argentine industry, these bearings appear in transmission equipment, centrifugal pumps, industrial fans, screw compressors, food industry machinery and packaging lines. They are also found in agricultural applications, such as seeders and combine harvesters, where dust and moisture demand effective sealing. Being angular contact, they are normally mounted in pairs, face-to-face or matched, to absorb axial loads in both directions and give rigidity to the assembly.
To select the correct part number, take into account the direction of the axial load, the internal clearance and the type of sealing. The 2HRS design is already lubricated at the factory and requires no additional maintenance in most cases; if the environment is very aggressive, external protections should be evaluated. During mounting, respect the alignment of the shaft and the housing, avoid impacts on the raceway edges and use suitable mounting tools. The TVH cage handles the usual accelerations and operating temperatures well.
If you need to replace a bearing from another brand, interchangeability is defined by the main dimensions and the type of design. An angular contact part number with sealing and polyamide cage may be equivalent to other nomenclatures, but always verify the bore diameter, outside diameter, width and contact angle before replacing. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can advise you on the equivalence based on the original part number or the equipment dimensions.
To request a quote, send us via WhatsApp the complete part number shown on the bearing or in the machine manual, for example 3206-BD-XL-2HRS-TVH. If you do not have it at hand, send us the shaft and housing dimensions and the type of application. We will reply shortly with the corresponding reference and mounting recommendations.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the dimensions of the FAG 3203-BD-XL-2HRS-TVH bearing?
- The FAG 3203-BD-XL-2HRS-TVH bearing has a 17 mm bore, a 40 mm outside diameter and a 17.5 mm width (17 x 40 x 17.5 mm). These are the standardised boundary dimensions (ISO 15) of the basic designation 3203.
- What does the 2HRS suffix mean on these FAG bearings?
- The 2HRS suffix indicates that the bearing has a double-lip seal on both sides. This seal retains the factory grease and prevents the entry of dust, water or particles, making it suitable for environments with moderate contamination.
- Can they be mounted individually or are they always in pairs?
- They can be mounted individually, but since they are angular contact in one direction, the usual practice is to arrange them in face-to-face or matched pairs to absorb axial loads in both directions and achieve greater rigidity in the assembly.
- How do I request a quote for a specific part number?
- Write to us via WhatsApp with the complete part number shown on the bearing, for example 3207-BD-XL-2HRS-TVH, or with the shaft and housing dimensions. We will reply shortly with the information to request a quote.
