What Are Self-Aligning Bearings and Why Do They Matter?
Self-aligning bearings, often referred to as spherical roller bearings, are designed to compensate for misalignment between the shaft and the housing. This feature makes them ideal for applications where precision mounting is difficult or where shaft deflection is expected during operation.
FAG self-aligning bearings, manufactured by Schaeffler Group, offer enhanced performance in rugged and demanding environments. Their ability to self-adjust under load helps prevent premature wear, reduce heat generation, and improve overall system stability.
Key Benefits of Upgrading to FAG Bearings
-
✅ High Load Capacity
Handles heavy radial and moderate axial loads in both directions. -
✅ Misalignment Compensation
Protects your machinery from alignment errors and shaft deflections. -
✅ Long Service Life
Engineered from high-purity steel with advanced heat treatment. -
✅ Low Maintenance
Reduced friction means less heat, lower lubricant consumption, and fewer breakdowns. -
✅ Sealed Options Available
For dirty, wet, or corrosive environments.
