FAG 23164-BEA-XL-MB1-C3 SPHERICAL ROLLER BEARING

This FAG brand self-aligning roller bearing is an ideal solution for industrial applications exposed to heavy loads. Designed with a solid, one-piece brass cage guided by the inner ring, it features an open design that offers robustness, thermal stability, and excellent self-aligning capability.

Features:
This self-aligning bearing is distinguished by its two symmetrical rows of rollers, which effectively compensate for misalignment and shaft deflection. Its design incorporates a floating central shoulder and two rigid lateral shoulders, ensuring uniform distribution of radial loads and enhanced axial load capacity. The brass cage, which is impact-resistant and resistant to high temperatures, contributes to the mechanical stability of the assembly. The C3 radial clearance, which is greater than the standard, offers better tolerance to internal expansion, making it ideal for high-temperature or high-load applications. The surface finish, enhanced by X-life technology, reduces friction and allows for high-speed operation.

Maintenance:
Relubrication is facilitated by three grease ports and an annular groove on the outer ring. Regular maintenance is recommended, particularly in contaminated environments. It is essential to use compatible greases and adhere to maintenance schedules to ensure the bearing’s longevity. Before performing any work, ensure that the components are clean to minimize the intrusion of harmful particles. The C3 radial clearance helps prevent overheating in the event of thermal expansion.

Sealing:
This bearing features an open design with no integrated seals. Although this facilitates visual inspection and heat dissipation, it makes the bearing more susceptible to dust and moisture ingress. Evenly distributed internal lubrication via the groove and holes provides partial protection against wear. A suitable housing and frequent relubrication cycles are essential to ensure optimal durability.
