1. Exceptional Load-Carrying Capacity
FAG spherical roller bearings are built to handle very high radial loads, along with moderate to high axial loads in both directions. Their self-aligning design makes them ideal for applications where shaft deflection or misalignment is common.
Example: FAG 22330-E1-K-T41A
-
Designed for vibrating machines
-
High dynamic load rating
-
Tapered bore for precise shaft fit
This model is widely used in crushers, vibrating screens, and heavy-duty motors due to its ability to withstand impact and overload.
2. Long Service Life and Reduced Downtime
FAG bearings are engineered with enhanced internal geometries, precision-machined raceways, and high-quality materials. This reduces friction and wear, leading to longer service life—even in harsh working conditions.
Example: FAG 22222-E1A-M-C3
-
Machined brass cage for strength and stability
-
C3 internal clearance for high-speed and high-heat applications
-
E1A design for increased fatigue resistance
Using long-lasting bearings like this helps reduce unexpected machine failures and maintenance costs.
3. Tolerance to Misalignment and Shaft Flexing
Spherical roller bearings by design can accommodate angular misalignment—typically up to 2°. This is essential in large industrial machines where shaft bending or housing misalignment cannot be avoided.
Example: FAG 24030-E1-2VSR-H40
-
Factory-sealed for contamination resistance
-
Suitable for damp, dusty, and chemically aggressive environments
-
Ideal for marine, pulp & paper, or food processing machinery
With this level of flexibility, FAG bearings reduce the risk of damage due to imperfect alignment, helping keep your systems running longer.
4. Available in Sealed and Coated Variants
FAG offers sealed spherical roller bearings that come pre-lubricated and ready for environments with high contamination or moisture. They also offer Corrotect®-coated models for corrosion-prone applications.
Example: FAG 23120-E1A-K-M-C4
-
Protective sealing system
-
C4 clearance for thermal expansion
-
Excellent resistance to water, dust, and aggressive substances
These variants are ideal for applications where relubrication is difficult or where reliability is paramount.
