FAG spherical roller bearings are double-row, self-aligning bearings capable of handling both high radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions. Their unique internal design allows the bearing to accommodate angular misalignment, making them especially valuable in systems where shaft bending or mounting inaccuracies are unavoidable.
Key Advantages of FAG Spherical Roller Bearings
✅ Self-Aligning Functionality
One of the standout features of FAG spherical roller bearings is their automatic self-alignment capability. This means the bearing can adapt to minor shaft deflections or mounting errors, significantly reducing the risk of premature failure.
✅ Reduced Downtime
By minimizing stress caused by misalignment, FAG spherical roller bearings help reduce maintenance frequency and unexpected breakdowns—key factors in maintaining continuous industrial production.
✅ Vibration Resistance
Many FAG models are engineered for use in vibrating machinery such as crushers or screens. Their optimized cage designs and roller profiles ensure smoother, quieter operation.
✅ Extended Bearing Life
FAG bearings are manufactured from premium-grade steels, often treated with Schaeffler’s X-life technology, to improve fatigue resistance, reduce friction, and increase service intervals.
✅ Wide Product Range
From standard to application-specific bearings, FAG offers a versatile selection suitable for mining, cement, wind energy, paper, marine, and more.
