Self-Aligning Ball Bearing 1308 TVH FAG 40x90x23

Main Description

The 1308 TVH FAG self-aligning ball bearing 40x90x23 is a double-row bearing designed to compensate shaft misalignment and ensure stable, long-term operation in industrial systems.

Within the self-aligning ball bearings category, the 1308 TVH FAG stands out due to its spherical outer raceway, which allows automatic alignment between the shaft and housing. This feature minimizes the effects of mounting errors and shaft deflection, reducing stress and extending bearing life. The TVH cage, made from high-performance polymer, improves running characteristics and reduces friction, making it suitable for medium to high-speed applications.

The 40x90x23 size is commonly used in medium-duty machinery where alignment challenges and structural flexibility are present.

Construction and Design

The 1308 TVH FAG bearing is engineered for flexibility and durability in demanding environments.

Key design features:

• double-row self-aligning ball bearing
• spherical outer ring raceway for misalignment compensation
• TVH polymer cage for reduced weight and friction
• high-quality bearing steel for long service life
• optimized internal geometry for smooth operation

This construction allows the bearing to operate efficiently even when alignment conditions are not ideal.
