What Are Self-Aligning Roller Bearings?
FAG’s self-aligning roller bearings, also known as spherical roller bearings, feature two rows of barrel-shaped rollers positioned between an inner ring with two raceways and an outer ring with a single spherical raceway. This unique geometry allows the bearing to automatically compensate for shaft deflections and angular misalignments, ensuring smooth operation in demanding environments.
Engineering Highlights – Why Choose FAG?
-
✅ High Load Capacity: Handles both radial and axial loads simultaneously.
-
✅ Self-Alignment Capability: Reduces stress from installation errors and shaft deflection.
-
✅ Optimized Friction Reduction: Specially designed raceways and cage geometry reduce frictional heat and energy loss.
-
✅ Long Operating Life: Manufactured with high-grade steel and precision heat treatment for maximum durability.
-
✅ Available with Optional Lubrication and Sealing Systems to further extend service life.
