FAG 21307-E1-XL-TVPB-C3 SPHERICAL ROLLER BEARING 190001970030

Thanks to its self-aligning design and polyamide cage, this FAG brand spherical roller bearing ensures smooth and quiet operation for heavy-duty applications. This spherical roller bearing is ideal for applications requiring reliability, durability, and high efficiency, even at high speeds.

Features:
This spherical roller bearing is designed with two symmetrical rows of rollers that provide excellent distribution of radial and axial loads. Its optimized internal geometry, without a central shoulder, improves dynamic load capacity. The reinforced polyamide cage, guided by the inner ring, ensures proper guidance of the rolling elements while minimizing friction. The increased internal radial clearance (C3) better compensates for thermal expansion at high speeds. Its open design allows for high rotational speeds while maintaining good stability. This bearing withstands temperatures ranging from –30°C to +120°C continuously, and even up to +150°C temporarily (risk of cage softening) when used with a suitable lubricant. Thanks to the X-life technology developed by Schaeffler, this bearing features an internal finish that exceeds industry standards, thereby increasing its service life, load capacity, and smoothness of operation.

Maintenance:
This self-aligning roller bearing does not contain any factory-applied lubricant. It therefore requires lubrication suited to its operating environment. Due to its small diameter, it cannot be equipped with a lubrication system (grooves, holes, etc.). It is therefore necessary to inject grease directly into the center of the bearing or to opt for an oil lubrication system (depending on the chosen application).

Sealing:
This model is open, with no built-in seals. This facilitates visual inspections and maintenance operations but makes it more vulnerable to external contaminants. If exposed to dust or moisture, it is crucial to ensure a clean environment or provide effective external protection. The absence of seals also means lower mechanical resistance, which promotes smoother rotation and higher speeds. However, it is necessary to regularly monitor the condition of the lubricant to prevent premature wear.

Brand Information:
FAG, a brand of the Schaeffler Group, has been a major player in the manufacture of precision industrial bearings for over 130 years. Recognized for its capacity for innovation, FAG offers reliable and durable technical solutions for the automotive, aerospace, and industrial sectors. X-life products exemplify this commitment to performance and longevity.

Key benefits:
- Excellent radial and axial load capacity thanks to the E1 design.
- Self-alignment that compensates for misalignment or shaft deflection.
- High rotational speed with low internal heat generation.
- Polyamide cage combining light weight, quiet operation, and good thermal stability.
- X-life technology: extended service life, reduced maintenance.
- Smooth and quiet operation, ideal for vibration-sensitive applications.

Applications:
This self-aligning ball bearing is particularly well-suited for continuous industrial applications where mechanical loads are high. It is recommended for rotary compressors, high-capacity fans, industrial pumps, and standard gearboxes. It is also found in secondary turbines and water treatment systems. Its quiet and stable performance is perfectly suited for HVAC systems or production machinery in the textile, plastics, and paper industries.
