2201-TVH-C3 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 2201-TVH-C3 is a double row angular contact ball bearing designed for applications requiring high rigidity and precision performance. This sealed bearing excels at handling combined loads, supporting significant radial loads alongside moderate axial loads in both directions. Its compact design, featuring a 12 mm bore and 32 mm outside diameter, makes it ideal for space-constrained, high-reliability applications. The bearing comes pre-lubricated and features a C3 radial internal clearance, making it suitable for operational conditions where thermal expansion is a consideration.
2201-TVH-C3 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 2201 | Basic bearing designation indicating the size series and bore diameter (12 mm). |
| TVH | Denotes a Nylon (Polyamide) cage and contact seals on both sides for superior contaminant exclusion. |
| C3 | Indicates a greater than normal radial internal clearance. This is beneficial for applications with expected thermal expansion or where fits result in clearance reduction. |
2201-TVH-C3 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Rigidity & Load Capacity: The double row design provides superior rigidity and enables the bearing to support substantial radial dynamic load ratings of 1404 lbf and combined loads effectively.
- Sealed & Lubricated for Life: The integrated contact seals (TVH) effectively shield the bearing from contaminants and retain the factory-applied lubricant, offering a long service life with minimal maintenance.
- Optimized for Performance: The lightweight Nylon cage contributes to smooth operation and is suitable for the bearing's limiting speed of 16,000 rpm. The C3 clearance ensures stable operation across a wide temperature range (-30° to 110 °C).
