‌FAG Spherical Roller Bearings have large load capacity and self-aligning ability, suitable for low-speed or medium-speed applications, especially under heavy loads or impact loads. ‌

FAG Spherical Roller Bearings are divided into several types, including R, RR, RH, RHR and RHA, which differ in internal structure. Each type can be equipped with a cylindrical bore or a tapered bore, where the tapered bore bearings can be easily installed and removed through an adapter assembly or a pull-out sleeve. ‌

Application scenarios

This type of bearing is particularly suitable for low-speed or medium-speed applications, and is often used in situations where heavy loads or impact loads are applied. They are widely used in various industrial fields, such as mining, metallurgy, electricity, cement, etc. ‌

Maintenance and care

For rolling bearings in SKF industrial gearboxes, maintenance and care are very important. Proper lubrication and regular inspections can extend the service life of bearings and ensure their performance. In addition, the correct installation and removal methods are also the key to ensure the long-term and stable operation of bearings.

As a cornerstone of Schaeffler Group’s industrial solutions, FAG Spherical Roller Bearings (SRBs) redefine reliability in applications demanding unparalleled radial load capacity, axial flexibility, and self-alignment under severe operating conditions. Engineered with patented logarithmic profiles and advanced materials, these bearings conquer the toughest challenges in mining, wind energy, steel production, and heavy machinery.
