The Problem: Misalignment and Vibration in Industrial Equipment
Shaft deflection, housing deformation, and improper installation are common causes of angular misalignment. Additionally, equipment like vibrating screens, crushers, and industrial fans generate high levels of vibration that put immense strain on mechanical components. Left unaddressed, these factors lead to premature bearing failure and costly maintenance.
The Solution: FAG Spherical Roller Bearings
FAG, a brand under the globally respected Schaeffler Group, manufactures spherical roller bearings specifically designed to compensate for misalignment and absorb vibration. Their self-aligning design ensures stable performance even when operating conditions are far from ideal.
Key Features & Benefits
-
✅ Self-aligning geometry allows for shaft misalignment without affecting performance
-
✅ Robust cage designs (brass or steel) for vibration resistance and stability
-
✅ Advanced sealing options to protect against contaminants and extend lifespan
-
✅ Optimized roller profiles to reduce stress concentration and operating temperature
