Self-aligning and double-row, the FAG 202 series spherical roller bearings handle moderate radial and axial loads in equipment where the shaft can flex or sit slightly out of line with the housing. Typical installations include transmissions, pumps and process machinery. The polyamide cage supports moderate speeds with smooth running. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line and assists with part number selection.

Each designation in this series starts with the four-digit series number 202 and ends with a suffix that describes the design. Taking 20204-TVP, 20205-TVP and 20206-TVP as examples, the TVP suffix points to a window-type polyamide cage reinforced with glass fibre and centred on the rollers. The last two digits (04, 05, 06 and so on) follow a size chart for bore diameter, so a higher number means a larger bore. For the exact dimensions of a given part number, consult the data sheet or send us the model you need.

These bearings suit plants in food processing, chemicals, cement and metallurgy. They turn up in gearboxes, conveyors, mixers, fans and pumping equipment where minor shaft misalignment has to be absorbed, and also in machine tools and support rollers. Because they self-align, the risk of premature failure drops when the base is not perfectly rigid or when mounting leaves a small angular deviation.

Selection depends on the radial and axial load the bearing must carry, the rotational speed and the surrounding conditions. The TVP suffix works at moderate temperatures; above 120 °C, other variants should be considered. At mounting, verify initial alignment and use the right tools so the rollers and cage are not damaged. Apply the lubricant specified for the application and renew it on the maintenance schedule. Fitting the bearing correctly on the shaft and in the housing helps extend service life.

When replacements are needed, designations are often compared across brands. The FAG 202 series may have equivalents from other manufacturers with similar nomenclatures, but correspondence is not automatic: tolerances, internal clearance and cage materials can differ. Verifying the critical dimensions and service conditions before substituting one bearing for another is therefore recommended. For an alternative, send us the original part number and we will advise.

If you already know the part number, send it by WhatsApp or email to MR Industrial Accessories LLC and the team will reply promptly with a quote. If not, share the shaft and housing dimensions or a photo of the part and we can help identify the correct designation. We also suggest equivalents and guide you in choosing FAG bearings and other brands.
