Decoding FAG 2201-TVH
- 22Series
- Self-aligning ball bearings, 22 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 01Bore
- Bore 12 mm: by standard, 01 designates 12 mm.
- TVHSuffix
- FAG suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
2201 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description
FAG 2201-TVH measures 12 mm across the bore and 32 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 14 mm (12 x 32 x 14 mm).
FAG 2201-TVH belongs to self-aligning ball bearing, part of our Bearings range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for 2201-TVH and any equivalents.
FAG TVH self-aligning ball bearings handle angular misalignment between shaft and housing thanks to two raceways in the outer ring and a spherical outer surface. They suit equipment where alignment is difficult to hold, such as belt drives, fans and agricultural machinery. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line and helps you match the right part number to your application.
Read the TVH code in stages. Leading digits give size and series, so 108-TVH, 126-TVH and 1200-TVH are self-aligning ball bearings of different dimensions. The TVH suffix marks a glass fiber reinforced polyamide cage, intended for moderate temperatures and higher speeds. In four-digit codes such as 1200-TVH or 1202-TVH, the first pair of digits is the series and the last pair the bore diameter. Check the dimension table before ordering.
Typical uses include belt and chain drives, fans, centrifugal pumps, textile machines, agricultural equipment and conveyors, where shafts flex or shift slightly. Self-aligning behavior lowers stress on shaft and housing, which helps the assembly last longer. These bearings are often chosen when mounting cannot be precisely aligned or when the structure itself is flexible.
Selection depends on shaft diameter, radial and axial loads, and rotational speed. A TVH bearing with polyamide cage works where lubrication is adequate and temperatures stay within the material limits. At mounting, confirm that housing and shaft are clean and free of burrs; self-alignment does not fix excessive concentricity errors. Follow the manufacturer's lubrication instructions, and evaluate sealed variants where dust or moisture is present.
Self-aligning ball bearings follow international standards that allow part numbers to be interchanged between brands, though each maker uses its own suffixes for cage, clearance or sealing. FAG TVH series bearings may have equivalents under other designations, so verify dimensions and tolerances before replacing. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies FAG and can advise on interchangeability.
To request a quote for an FAG TVH self-aligning ball bearing, send the complete part number or the shaft and housing dimensions via WhatsApp or email. We reply promptly and can suggest equivalents or help you choose. Other FAG variants are available if your application calls for sealing, special clearance or high-temperature materials.

Frequently asked questions
- FAG 2201-TVH bearing: what are its dimensions?
- FAG 2201-TVH measures 12 mm across the bore and 32 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 14 mm (12 x 32 x 14 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 2201.
- What does the TVH suffix mean on an FAG bearing?
- TVH indicates a glass fiber reinforced polyamide cage, suited to high-speed running and moderate temperatures. It is an FAG internal designation and does not change the bearing's main dimensions.
- How do I pick the right self-aligning bearing for my equipment?
- Start with shaft diameter, radial and axial loads, and rotational speed. The environment and lubrication method also matter. With that information we can point you to the exact TVH part number or a sealed variant where contamination is a concern.
- Can I replace another brand's self-aligning bearing with an FAG one?
- Usually yes, provided dimensions and tolerances match. Self-aligning bearings follow international standards, but suffixes for cage or clearance differ by maker. Confirm the full part number with us before mounting.
