1. Designed for High Load and Shock Resistance
FAG spherical roller bearings are known for their robust design and exceptional load-carrying capacity. Their two-row, barrel-shaped rollers distribute forces evenly across the raceways, reducing stress and wear over time.
✅ Example: FAG 22328-E1-K-T41A
-
Specially designed for vibrating machinery (e.g., crushers, screens)
-
High dynamic load rating with T41A vibration-tolerant design
-
Tapered bore for easy mounting and secure shaft fit
This bearing can absorb extreme shock loads, which helps maintain performance consistency and prevents premature equipment failure.
2. Self-Alignment Compensates for Shaft Misalignment
One of the major causes of bearing damage is shaft misalignment, often due to mounting errors, thermal expansion, or housing deformation. FAG spherical roller bearings automatically compensate for angular misalignments of up to several degrees, reducing stress on the bearing and the equipment.
✅ Example: FAG 22220-E1-K-C3
-
Optimized for moderate-speed, high-load applications
-
C3 clearance to tolerate thermal expansion during high-speed operation
-
Self-aligning design ideal for pumps, compressors, and gearboxes
This reduces wear and vibration, which ultimately prolongs the service life of both the bearing and the surrounding components.
3. Advanced Materials and Surface Finishing
FAG uses high-quality steels, optimized heat treatments, and fine surface finishes to reduce friction and minimize wear. These characteristics lead to lower operating temperatures, longer lubrication intervals, and higher reliability under continuous use.
✅ Example: FAG 23124-E1A-M
-
Machined brass cage for superior roller guidance
-
High load capacity with enhanced surface finish
-
Frequently used in steel mills, paper machines, and marine drives
Better material properties lead to consistent performance and reduced failure rates, even in high-temperature or contaminated environments.
4. Sealed Versions for Contaminated Environments
In industries such as mining or food processing, contaminants like dust, water, or chemicals can quickly degrade bearing performance. FAG’s sealed spherical roller bearings protect the internal components and extend bearing life significantly.
✅ Example: FAG 24024-E1-2VSR-H40
-
Factory-lubricated and sealed against contaminants
-
Ideal for applications with limited maintenance access
-
Designed for harsh, wet, or dusty conditions
This bearing helps eliminate premature failures due to lubrication loss or contamination, providing peace of mind in remote or critical locations.
5. Long-Term Cost Efficiency and Reduced Downtime
While upfront investment in premium bearings like FAG may be higher, the long-term cost savings are substantial. Extended bearing life, fewer breakdowns, and less frequent maintenance directly translate to improved equipment uptime and lower total cost of ownership (TCO).
✅ Example: FAG 22324-E1A-M-C4
-
Designed for bulk material handling systems and conveyors
-
C4 clearance for extra thermal movement
-
Long grease life and robust internal structure
This model is often selected in systems where reliability is essential and replacement is time-consuming or costly.
