Brass cage with C4 clearance — for enhanced radial play and reliability.
TFL insulated bearings are widely used in VFD motors, generators, pumps, fans, and wind turbine systems. The insulation coating blocks shaft current paths to minimize electrical erosion, making them ideal for high-voltage and variable-speed operations. Our bearings ensure stable performance in humid and vibratory conditions, extending overall system life.
TFL 6215M/C4VL0241 is specifically engineered for the traction motors of light rail vehicles and trams, such as those operating on CRRC or Alstom Citadis platforms. In these applications, the motor RPM is relatively high, making the lighter 62-series design preferable to reduce rotational mass, while the Machined Brass Cage (M) is absolutely necessary to withstand the continuous shocks and vibrations from the track. The C4 clearance compensates for the rapid heat buildup in the rotor during frequent stop-and-go cycles. By utilizing the agility of China’s mature industrial supply chain, TFL can offer customized brass-cage bearing production with lead times significantly shorter than European OEMs, allowing railway operators to secure “Drop-in” replacements quickly and maintain high fleet availability.
This bearing is ideal for VFD-driven high-speed process blowers used in metallurgy or chemical plants, such as equipment from Howden or TLT-Turbo. These blowers often handle hot gases, transmitting heat along the shaft to the bearing, which necessitates the C4 clearance to prevent thermal seizing. The Brass Cage ensures stability at high speeds where steel cages might deform. Furthermore, the VL0241 insulation serves as a critical safety barrier in hazardous environments; by preventing sparks generated by inverter-induced shaft voltages, it helps facility operators strictly comply with ATEX or equivalent explosion-proof safety regulations, ensuring safe operation in zones with combustible dust or gases.
Designed for the motors of vertical in-line pumps handling hot, aggressive chemicals. The vertical mounting position places significant gravity loads on the bearing cage; the Machined Brass Cage offers superior strength and friction properties compared to pressed steel, preventing cage wear and failure. Combined with C4 clearance to handle fluid temperatures often exceeding 120°C, and electrical insulation to block VFD currents, TFL positions this robust model as a high-value alternative to premium brands, helping chemical plants execute OPEX reduction strategies by lowering maintenance costs without compromising the strict technical reliability required for continuous process operations.
