What Are FAG Self-Aligning Roller Bearings?
FAG self-aligning roller bearings—also referred to as FAG spherical roller bearings—feature a double-row design with a spherical outer ring raceway. This allows the bearing to automatically align itself, compensating for shaft misalignment or housing deflection during operation.
These properties make them ideal for applications where:
-
Shaft deflection or misalignment is common
-
High radial and axial loads are present
-
Continuous and shock loads are expected
-
Long service intervals are a priority
Key Advantages of FAG Self-Aligning Bearings
-
Superior Load Capacity
Thanks to their internal geometry and precision manufacturing, FAG bearings can handle both radial and axial loads with ease. This makes them ideal for industries like cement, paper, and marine. -
Automatic Misalignment Correction
The self-aligning feature reduces stress on surrounding components, minimizing premature wear and mechanical failure. -
Longer Service Life
FAG bearings are produced with premium-grade steel and advanced heat treatment, offering extended fatigue life—even under harsh operating conditions. -
Low Friction and Noise
Engineered surfaces and optimized internal geometry ensure smoother operation with less energy loss and noise. -
Versatility in Mounting and Fit Options
Available with cylindrical and tapered bores, suitable for adapter sleeves, direct mounting, or hydraulic fitting.
