What Are FAG Spherical Roller Bearings?
FAG spherical roller bearings feature a double-row design with spherical outer raceways, allowing for self-alignment during operation. This makes them ideal for applications where shaft deflection or housing misalignment may occur.
These bearings are commonly used in:
-
Mining & quarrying equipment
-
Cement and aggregate machinery
-
Steel production lines
-
Paper and pulp processing
-
Renewable energy systems (e.g., wind turbines)

💡 Tip: Buying in bulk or sourcing through authorized distributors may result in better pricing and shorter lead times.
🛠️ How to Select the Right FAG Spherical Roller Bearing
Choosing the correct bearing depends on five key factors:
1. Load Capacity
Match the dynamic (C) and static (C₀) load ratings to your operating requirements. For example:
-
FAG 22330-E1A-M-C3 handles high radial and axial loads.
-
FAG 24026-E1-2VSR offers both load capacity and sealing protection.
2. Misalignment Tolerance
If your machinery involves shaft deflection or angular misalignment, prioritize self-aligning series like:
-
FAG 22220-E1-K-C3 with tapered bore + C3 clearance.
3. Operating Conditions
Wet, dusty, or high-temperature environments require advanced protection:
-
Sealed Bearings: e.g., FAG 24026-E1-2VSR
-
Brass Cage Bearings: e.g., FAG 22330-E1A-M-C3 for shock loading.
4. Mounting & Shaft Size
Check whether you need:
-
Cylindrical bore (straight shaft)
-
Tapered bore (mounting with adapter sleeves)
5. Speed & Clearance
-
C3 clearance is suitable for most high-speed or high-temperature applications.
-
Consult FAG speed ratings to ensure optimal RPM compatibility.
