🛠 What Are FAG Self-Aligning Bearings?
FAG self-aligning bearings—also known as spherical roller bearings—are designed with two rows of symmetrical rollers and a common spherical raceway in the outer ring. This unique construction allows the bearing to accommodate misalignment and shaft deflection without compromising performance.
These bearings are particularly suitable for heavy-duty applications where:
-
Mounting errors are likely
-
Shaft bending occurs under load
-
Consistent shock, vibration, or dynamic misalignment is present
✅ Key Benefits of FAG Self-Aligning Bearings
-
Self-Alignment Capability
Automatically adjusts to angular misalignment caused by improper installation or shaft deflection. -
High Radial & Axial Load Capacity
Suitable for extremely demanding working conditions such as mining, steel processing, or paper manufacturing. -
Extended Service Life with X-life™ Technology
FAG’s proprietary surface finish and optimized internal geometry enhance bearing life and reduce wear. -
Customizable Designs
Available with tapered or cylindrical bores, brass or steel cages, and sealed or open configurations.
