Spherical roller bearings (FAG)

Spherical roller bearings are double row, self-retaining units comprising solid outer rings with a concave raceway, solid inner rings and barrel rollers with cages. The inner rings with cylindrical or tapered bores.

The symmetrical barrel rollers freely align themselves to the concave outer ring raceway. As a result, shaft deflections and mislignments of the bearing seats are compensated.

X-life

Many sizes of spherical roller bearings are supplied in X-life design. These bearings do not have a central rib on the inner ring so longer barrel rollers can be fitted; improved kinematics, optimised surfaces and even higher performance materials are possible. As a result, the bearings show a significant increase in the basic dynamic load rating and, under the same operating conditions, in the basic rating life. In certain applications, a smaller design of bearing arrangement can therefore be used if necessary.

Tapered roller bearings comprise solid inner and outer rings with tapered raceways and tapered rollers with cages. The bearings are not self-retaining. As a result, the inner ring together with the rollers and cage can be fitted separately from the outer ring. Tapered roller bearings can support axial loads from one direction as well as high radial loads. They must normally be axially adjusted against a second bearing fitted in a mirror image arrangement.

X-life

We are offering our proven catalog series in X-life quality. The geometry, surfaces and materials were optimized. Thus FAG Tapered Roller Bearings X-life offer an increase in the basic dynamic load ratings (Cr) of up to 20 % compared to previous designs, an increase in the basic rating life of approximately 70 % under the same operating conditions und up to 75 % less friction. A convincing advantage of X-life are product characteristics that provide you with new design perspectives, for example, to design particularly low-noise or high load capacity systems solutions.
