FAG 22220-E1-XL-C2 SPHERICAL ROLLER BEARING

This FAG brand spherical roller bearing is designed for industrial applications that require robustness, precision, and durability. Featuring a stamped steel cage and an open design, it combines self-alignment with resistance to combined loads.

Features:
This bearing, with two symmetrical rows of rollers, ensures effective compensation for misalignment. Its design without a central shoulder allows for high radial load capacity and better force distribution. The sheet steel cage ensures effective dynamic performance at moderate to high speeds. The C2 radial clearance, which is tighter than standard, ensures a precise fit and high dimensional stability, but requires rigorous thermal management to prevent internal overheating. The finish of the internal surfaces, enhanced by X-life technology, helps reduce friction and improve overall efficiency.

Maintenance:
This bearing is designed for easy relubrication thanks to three grease holes and an annular groove on the outer ring. Periodic maintenance is necessary, especially in contaminated environments, to prevent particle ingress. The reduced C2 radial clearance requires precise control of lubrication and internal temperatures to prevent excessive heating.

Sealing:
With its open design, this bearing does not include any seals. It allows for efficient heat dissipation and facilitates visual inspection, but remains vulnerable to the intrusion of dust, liquids, or other contaminants. It is therefore essential to provide external protection or a clean environment to limit premature wear. Frequent relubrication helps flush out impurities and maintain performance.
