Self-aligning ball bearing compensates shaft misalignment thanks to its spherical outer raceway, allowing the inner ring with balls to swivel relative to the outer ring. The 2205-TVH-C3 has a bore of 25.0 mm, outside diameter of 52.0 mm, width of 18.0 mm and a net mass of 0.155 kg. It is fitted with a TVH cage made of glass-fibre reinforced plastic and features C3 radial internal clearance, greater than normal. Limiting speed is 14400 1/min, with a reference speed of 13400 1/min. The increased C3 clearance offsets the temperature rise and interference fit typical of tight mounting, keeping the bearing free from excess preload during operation. The plastic TVH cage reduces friction and mass compared to metal cages, supporting the stated speed ratings. Its self-aligning design accommodates shaft deflection and housing misalignment without inducing additional internal stress, making it suitable where precise shaft alignment cannot be guaranteed.
