FAG 23024-E1-XL-K-TVPB-C3 SPHERICAL ROLLER BEARING

Designed to last, this FAG brand spherical roller bearing compensates for misalignment while withstanding heavy loads. Its X-life technology ensures smooth and reliable operation, even at high speeds. A high-performance solution, ideal for heavy-duty applications.

Features:
This spherical roller bearing features a lightweight cage made of glass-fiber-reinforced PA66 polyamide, guided by the inner ring, ensuring smooth and quiet operation. Thanks to its internal geometry without a central shoulder (E1), it offers a significantly higher radial load capacity while effectively withstanding axial forces in both directions. Its tapered bore allows for precise fitting when mounted on a tapered sleeve or shaft, ensuring optimal adjustment of the internal radial clearance (C3 unloaded). X-life technology improves surface finishes and stress distribution, thereby increasing the bearing’s performance and service life. Its open design allows for high rotational speeds while maintaining excellent thermal stability up to +120°C continuously.

Maintenance:
This self-aligning ball bearing requires regular lubrication to ensure its longevity. It is equipped with an annular groove and three lubrication holes machined into the outer ring, facilitating effective relubrication during operation. This configuration allows for uniform distribution of the lubricant and promotes the removal of contaminants. It is essential to maintain strict cleanliness during maintenance operations, particularly in contaminated environments. Operating temperatures must remain between –30°C and +120°C, with possible short-term peaks up to +150°C, provided a suitable lubricant is used. Periodic checks of temperature, vibrations, and clearance help detect failures and enable rapid intervention.

Sealing:
This model is offered without built-in seals, making it more vulnerable to contaminants such as dust, moisture, or solid particles. However, this open design offers several advantages: easier visual inspection, reduced friction, and relubrication without disassembly. It is recommended to install it in a clean environment or with suitable external protection. If exposed to contaminants, rigorous maintenance is essential to preserve the bearing’s performance.
