• C3: Internal clearance larger than normal

FAG 3208-BD-XL-2Z-TVH-C3 is a double-row angular contact ball bearing with solid inner and outer rings, designed to handle high radial loads plus axial loads in both directions. The construction is comparable to two single-row angular contact bearings arranged back-to-back (O arrangement), in a compact single bearing. The 30° contact angle provides increased axial load capacity. The C3 clearance is recommended when operating conditions (temperature, interference fits, or shaft expansion) may reduce internal clearance during operation. The 2Z metal shields help protect against contamination while maintaining low friction (non-contact shields). As an X-life bearing, it features optimized internal geometry and higher-quality rolling elements/surfaces to support longer service life, reduced heat generation, and extended maintenance intervals.

Typical Applications

Commonly used in:

• Pumps and compressors
• Gearboxes and transmissions
• Electric motors and industrial drives
• Machine tools and general machinery requiring combined radial + axial load capacity
• Compact assemblies where a double-row angular contact bearing is preferred
