FAG 23136-E1-XL-K-TVPB SPHERICAL ROLLER BEARING 190320130000

Spherical roller bearings are designed to withstand heavy loads in environments subject to misalignment or shaft deflection. Widely used in industrial equipment such as compressors and gearboxes, they offer robustness, smooth operation, and a long service life.

Features:
This FAG spherical roller bearing features Schaeffler’s X-life technology. It is characterized by improved surface finishes, which significantly enhance its service life and performance, while ensuring high resistance to radial and axial loads, even in the event of misalignment. It features a reinforced polyamide cage, guided by the inner ring, which enables quiet, low-friction operation and supports high rotational speeds. The tapered bore mounting allows for precise adjustment of the internal clearance to achieve optimal tightening or preload. Its E1 design, without a central shoulder, significantly improves dynamic load capacity. An annular lubrication groove and three machined holes in the outer ring facilitate in-service lubrication without requiring disassembly.

Maintenance:
This self-aligning ball bearing requires regular lubrication appropriate for the operating environment. It can be lubricated with grease or oil, depending on the application’s requirements. The open design allows for easy visual inspection, which is ideal for detecting wear early. It is recommended to maintain strict cleanliness during maintenance to prevent the ingress of particles. X-life technology helps reduce maintenance frequency thanks to improved durability of the contact surfaces and reduced internal heat generation. However, it is necessary to regularly monitor the operating temperature. This temperature must not exceed 120 °C continuously, as this could cause the polyamide cage to soften. However, occasional peaks of up to 150 °C are permissible. 

Sealing:
This self-aligning roller bearing is designed without seals. Its open structure promotes efficient cooling, allows for free lubricant circulation, and helps reduce internal friction. However, this makes it more susceptible to external contaminants such as abrasive dust, moisture, corrosive liquids, or abrasive particles. On the other hand, this design facilitates relubrication and visual inspection of the components. It is therefore preferable to use it in clean environments or in protected systems, with particular attention paid to the quality of the lubrication and preventive maintenance.
