Technical parameters

• Manufacturer: FAG
• Type: self aligning ball bearing
• Model: 11208 TVH
• Size: 40 x 80 x 56 mm
• Design: double row
• Cage: polyamide TVH
• Feature: automatic alignment

Technical snippet:
The 11208 TVH self aligning ball bearing compensates angular misalignment and ensures stable operation under dynamic loads.

Construction and design

This bearing features a double row ball arrangement combined with a spherical outer raceway, allowing automatic self alignment during operation.

The TVH polyamide cage reduces friction, improves lubrication distribution and enables smooth running at higher speeds. Compared to standard bearings like 6208 or 6308, this design significantly increases tolerance to shaft misalignment.

Operational advantages

The FAG 11208 TVH offers high reliability in real industrial conditions where perfect alignment cannot be guaranteed.

Key advantages:

• automatic compensation of shaft misalignment
• reduced vibration and mechanical stress
• longer service life of shaft and housing
• stable operation in continuous duty systems
• resistance to installation inaccuracies

Main description

The FAG 11208 TVH 40x80x56 self aligning ball bearing is a high performance rolling bearing designed to operate reliably in systems where shaft misalignment, deformation or mounting deviations occur.

A self aligning ball bearing is specifically engineered to automatically adjust its position during operation, ensuring smooth rotation even when the shaft is not perfectly aligned with the housing. This makes it essential in industrial environments where structural tolerances and dynamic loads are present.

The 11208 TVH model belongs to a widely used series of self aligning bearings commonly applied in global bearing shop online markets, wholesale distribution and OEM production systems. It is often compared with equivalents such as SKF 1208 or similar designs used in industrial machinery.

Its double row construction increases load capacity and ensures even load distribution, while the spherical raceway allows continuous alignment correction. This reduces stress on components and prevents premature wear.

The polyamide TVH cage enhances performance by lowering friction and improving lubrication efficiency. This contributes to quieter operation, reduced heat generation and extended service intervals.

With dimensions 40x80x56 mm, this bearing is suitable for medium to heavy duty applications where durability and flexibility are critical. It is widely used in industrial production lines, agricultural machinery and transport systems.

The FAG brand guarantees precision manufacturing, consistent quality and long service life, making this bearing a reliable choice for B2B customers, maintenance teams and industrial distributors.

This product is ideal for companies seeking dependable solutions for misalignment compensation in continuous operation environments.
