FAG Tapered Roller Bearings are a type of bearing with high load capacity and a wide range of speeds. They are typically used to carry radial and unidirectional axial loads, and due to their design features, they are able to perform well in high load and high speed environments.
High load capacity : FAG tapered roller bearings are able to carry high radial and axial loads and are suitable for use under heavy load conditions Wide range of speeds : These bearings are able to operate effectively over a large speed range and are suitable for applications that require high-speed rotation Accurate axial guidance : Due to the large effective distance in the bearing design, they are able to provide an accurate and rigid axial guidance system
FAG tapered roller bearings are divided into single-row, double-row and multi-row bearings according to the arrangement of the rolling elements. Single-row tapered roller bearings are able to carry radial loads and unidirectional axial loads, but when they are subjected to radial loads, an axial component force is generated, so another bearing is required to balance the axial force in the opposite direction
In order to ensure the long-term and stable operation of FAG tapered roller bearings, proper lubrication is key. Grease or oil is usually used for lubrication, and the specific lubrication method and cycle should be determined according to the conditions of use and the manufacturer’s recommendations.
