What Are Self-Aligning Roller Bearings?
Self-aligning roller bearings, also known as spherical roller bearings, are designed to accommodate angular misalignment and shaft deflection without compromising performance. Thanks to their spherical internal raceway and double-row barrel-shaped rollers, these bearings maintain optimal contact even under shifting loads or misaligned shafts.
Key Advantages of FAG Self-Aligning Bearings
✅ Automatic Misalignment Compensation
-
Ideal for applications where shaft deflection or housing misalignment is unavoidable.
-
Maintains stability and reduces stress on surrounding components.
✅ High Radial and Axial Load Capacity
-
Especially suitable for heavy-duty applications such as mining conveyors and rotary kilns.
✅ Durable and Long-Lasting
-
Manufactured from heat-treated high-grade steel for excellent wear resistance and fatigue life.
✅ Low Friction and Heat Generation
-
Optimized roller profiles and cage designs minimize energy loss, contributing to greater efficiency.
✅ Global Standards Compliance
-
FAG bearings meet DIN, ISO, and ABMA standards, ensuring interchangeability and compatibility.
