20207-TVP FAG 35x72x17 mm - Spherical Roller Bearing

20207-TVP FAG 35x72x17 mm - Spherical Roller Bearing

FAG 20207-TVP is a single-row spherical roller bearing with dimensions 35x72x17 mm, a cylindrical bore and a solid polyamide cage designated TVP. The standard version without the C3 suffix has normal internal clearance CN. Its self-aligning design allows the bearing to accommodate angular misalignment between the shaft and housing and makes it particularly suitable for radial loads.

Technical data - FAG 20207-TVP

What does 20207-TVP mean?

20207 identifies a single-row spherical roller bearing in the 202 series with dimensions 35x72x17 mm.

TVP is a FAG designation for a solid polyamide cage.

The absence of the C3 suffix is important. The standard FAG 20207-TVP uses normal internal clearance CN, whereas 20207-TVP-C3 is manufactured with greater-than-normal internal clearance.

Design and operating principle

FAG 20207-TVP belongs to the group of single-row spherical roller bearings. Its barrel-shaped rolling elements operate between specially shaped raceways, creating a self-aligning bearing arrangement.

This design enables the bearing to accommodate angular misalignment between the shaft and housing as well as certain shaft deflections.

The 20207-TVP has a cylindrical bore and an open design without integrated seals or shields. The TVP polyamide cage separates and guides the rolling elements.

The bearing is primarily designed to carry radial loads. Its self-aligning capability is particularly important in bearing arrangements where precise alignment between the shaft and housing cannot always be maintained.

FAG 20207-TVP vs 20207-TVP-C3

Both versions have the same basic dimensions of 35x72x17 mm, but they differ in internal clearance.

20207-TVP - normal internal clearance CN.

20207-TVP-C3 - greater-than-normal C3 internal clearance.

The C3 version should not be selected solely because its dimensions are identical. The required internal clearance must correspond to the operating conditions, fits, temperature and design of the specific bearing arrangement.

FAG 20207-TVP vs 20207-K-TVP

Another important difference concerns the bore design.

20207-TVP has a cylindrical bore.

The FAG suffix K identifies a version with a tapered bore. Therefore, 20207-K-TVP should not automatically be treated as identical to 20207-TVP even when other basic dimensions correspond.

Alternative designations and search references

The bearing may be encountered in catalogues, inventory systems and technical searches under several natural variations:

• FAG 20207-TVP

• 20207-TVP FAG

• 20207 TVP FAG

• 20207 TVP

• 20207TVP FAG

• FAG 20207 TVP

The notation 20207 TVP is therefore a useful search reference, while 20207-TVP is the preferred complete FAG product designation.

Bearing selection and interchangeability

Before replacing FAG 20207-TVP with another bearing, check more than just the 35x72x17 mm dimensions.

The following characteristics should be considered:

• complete bearing designation

• bearing type and internal design

• bore type

• internal clearance

• cage design

• load ratings

• operating speed

• operating temperature

• lubrication conditions

• shaft and housing fits

• requirements of the specific application

Identical d x D x B dimensions do not automatically guarantee full interchangeability.

Installation and operation

During installation, the bearing, shaft and housing seating surfaces should be kept clean. Installation force must not be transmitted through the rolling elements.

When pressing the inner ring onto a shaft, the installation force should be applied to the inner ring. When fitting the outer ring into a housing, force should be applied to the outer ring.

Fits, internal clearance and lubrication should always be selected according to the operating conditions of the specific bearing arrangement.

FAQ - FAG 20207-TVP

What are the dimensions of FAG 20207-TVP?

FAG 20207-TVP has a 35 mm bore diameter, 72 mm outside diameter and 17 mm width, giving overall dimensions of 35x72x17 mm.

What type of bearing is FAG 20207-TVP?

It is a single-row spherical roller bearing with a self-aligning internal design.

What does TVP mean in FAG 20207-TVP?

TVP identifies the cage design. In FAG nomenclature, it refers to a solid polyamide cage.

Does FAG 20207-TVP have C3 clearance?

No. The standard 20207-TVP without a C3 suffix has normal internal clearance CN. 20207-TVP-C3 is the version with greater-than-normal C3 internal clearance.

Does FAG 20207-TVP have a cylindrical bore?

Yes. 20207-TVP has a cylindrical bore. A corresponding designation containing the suffix K identifies a tapered-bore version.

Is FAG 20207-TVP sealed?

No. FAG 20207-TVP is an open bearing without integrated seals or shields.

Are 20207-TVP and 20207-TVP-C3 the same bearing?

They have the same basic dimensions, but they differ in internal clearance. The C3 version has greater internal clearance than the standard CN version.

Can any 35x72x17 mm bearing replace FAG 20207-TVP?

No. Matching dimensions alone are not sufficient. Bearing type, internal design, bore, clearance, cage, load ratings and operating requirements must also be considered.

20207-TVP FAG - key information

FAG 20207-TVP is a single-row spherical roller bearing with dimensions 35x72x17 mm, a cylindrical bore, normal CN internal clearance and a TVP solid polyamide cage. Its self-aligning spherical roller design allows it to accommodate angular misalignment between the shaft and housing. It should not be confused with 20207-TVP-C3, which has greater internal clearance.
