Decoding FAG 3216-B-TVH
- 32Series
- Angular contact ball bearings, 32 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 16Bore
- Bore 80 mm (16 × 5).
- B-TVHSuffix
- FAG suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
3216 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description
FAG 3216-B-TVH measures 80 mm across the bore and 140 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 44.4 mm (80 x 140 x 44.4 mm).

FAG angular contact bearings use offset raceways to carry radial and axial loads in one direction. They work in pairs or sets on shafts that need precision and rigidity, such as machine tool spindles, pumps and gearboxes. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line and helps you match the design to your application.
Reading the designation is straightforward once you know the blocks. The numeric prefix tells you the size: 30/5-B-TVH, 30/6-B-TVH, 30/7-B-TVH and 30/8-B-TVH sit in the compact range, while 3000-B-TVH, 3001-B-TVH, 3002-B-TVH and 3003-B-TVH belong to the larger diameter series. The letter B marks a single row angular contact design with a defined contact angle. The TVH suffix means the cage is polyamide reinforced with glass fiber, which suits high speeds and moderate temperatures.
You will find these bearings in machine tool spindles, milling heads, centrifugal pumps, compressors, speed reducers and power transmission equipment. Metalworking, food, petrochemical and plastics processing plants rely on them where axial rigidity and rotational precision matter. They also appear in electric motors and industrial fans running under combined loads. Because they take thrust in one direction, paired arrangements are the usual choice.
Selection comes down to the axial load direction, internal clearance and sealing type. In paired setups, preload and alignment between the two bearings set the rigidity of the assembly. Lubrication follows speed and working temperature: grease for standard duty, oil for high revolutions. The TVH polyamide cage performs well at high speed, but confirm it is compatible with the lubricant and the environment. Correct mounting prevents premature wear.
FAG angular contact bearings interchange with other European and Asian brands that use the same dimensional and design nomenclature. When you request a quote, give the full part number and, if you have them, the main dimensions and cage type. That lets us offer the exact equivalent. MR Industrial Accessories has experience in bearing selection across industries and can guide you if the design is unclear.

Frequently asked questions
- FAG 3216-B-TVH bearing: what are its dimensions?
- FAG 3216-B-TVH measures 80 mm across the bore and 140 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 44.4 mm (80 x 140 x 44.4 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 3216.
- What does the TVH suffix mean on a FAG bearing?
- TVH indicates a ball-guided polyamide cage reinforced with glass fiber. It handles high speeds and moderate temperatures, and is common in single row angular contact bearings.
- How are angular contact bearings mounted?
- They are usually mounted in pairs, with raceways facing each other or in tandem, to take axial loads in both directions. Preload and alignment are critical for the required rigidity and precision.
- What data do I need to request a quote for an angular contact bearing?
- Send the full part number, the main dimensions (bore, outer diameter and width) and the cage or design type. If you have the drawing or application details, even better. With that we will quote you on WhatsApp shortly.
