Why FAG Self-Aligning Bearings Are Ideal for Vibration Loads
FAG self-aligning bearings feature a unique two-row roller design and a common spherical raceway in the outer ring. This geometry allows the bearing to absorb misalignment and shaft deflection, significantly reducing internal stress and extending bearing service life even in machines that operate under heavy vibration.
Key Advantages:
-
✅ Automatic misalignment correction – Ideal for shaft deflections and misalignments in dynamic applications
-
✅ Optimized internal design – Distributes loads evenly across both rows of rollers
-
✅ Reinforced cages – Prevent roller skew and withstand vibration-related damage
-
✅ Low friction performance – Minimizes heat buildup, energy loss, and wear
-
✅ Extended service intervals – Reduces downtime in mission-critical machinery
Proven FAG Models for High-Vibration Applications
Here are top FAG self-aligning bearing models designed for vibration-prone environments:
🔸 FAG 22320-E1-T41D
Specially engineered for vibrating screens and crushers, this bearing features T41D vibration-resistant specification, with optimized clearance and lubrication features to withstand severe oscillation.
🔸 FAG 22326-E1-K-T41A
This model combines a tapered bore with high load-carrying capacity and vibration resistance. Ideal for quarry equipment, rotary screens, and heavy crushers.
Common Use Cases
FAG self-aligning bearings are used in:
-
Vibrating screens & feeders
-
Industrial crushers & pulverizers
-
Conveyor belt systems with frequent start/stop cycles
-
Rotary kilns, mills, and compactors
-
Pulp & paper processing machines under high vibration
These applications demand bearings that don’t just survive—but thrive—under constant shock, vibration, and load variations.
