What Are Self-Aligning Roller Bearings?
Self-aligning roller bearings, also known as spherical roller bearings, are uniquely designed with:
-
Two rows of barrel-shaped rollers
-
A common spherical outer ring raceway
-
An inner ring with two raceways tilted at an angle
This geometry enables the bearing to automatically compensate for shaft misalignment or deflection, ensuring smooth and stable operation — even in rugged environments.
Key Advantages of FAG Self-Aligning Roller Bearings
✅ Superior Load Handling
FAG bearings are built to handle very high radial loads and moderate axial loads, even in shock-prone or vibrating systems.
✅ Compensation for Misalignment
Ideal for heavy-duty machinery where shaft bending, mounting errors, or housing deformation are common.
✅ Extended Service Life
With precision German engineering, heat-treated rollers, and corrosion-resistant materials, FAG bearings offer longer operational life and reduced downtime.
✅ Optimized Internal Design
Improved roller profiles and cage guidance reduce friction, heat, and wear — making them ideal for continuous-duty applications.
