FAG 22314-E1-XLA 0933307230000 SPHERICAL ROLLER BEARING

Self-aligning roller bearings are designed to withstand heavy loads while compensating for misalignment. Thanks to their double row of symmetrical rollers and self-aligning capability, this type of bearing is particularly well-suited for demanding industrial environments. This open FAG model from the X-life series features a stamped steel cage and can accommodate radial and axial loads in both directions.

Features:
This self-aligning bearing is equipped with a cylindrical bore designed for direct mounting on the shaft, ensuring excellent mechanical stability. Its E1 design, which lacks a central shoulder on the inner ring, optimizes load distribution, thereby improving its durability under severe conditions. The standard radial clearance provides a good balance between rigidity and tolerance to thermal expansion. The integrated lubrication system, featuring three holes and a groove on the outer ring, allows for effective relubrication during operation. X-life technology further enhances its performance: improved surface finish, reduced friction, and increased dynamic load capacity. This double-row roller bearing is therefore suitable for high rotational speeds while offering excellent dynamic stability.

Maintenance:
This bearing requires regular lubrication appropriate for its operating environment. No lubricant is pre-filled: grease or oil must be selected based on operating conditions. Its open design facilitates relubrication, as do the accessible ports on the outer ring. Periodic relubrication is recommended, especially in the presence of dust, particles, or moisture. It is essential to maintain impeccable cleanliness during maintenance to prevent any internal contamination. This model can operate between –30°C and +200°C, provided a lubricant compatible with these temperatures is used. Thanks to X-life technology, heat build-up is better controlled, which helps extend maintenance intervals.

Sealing:
This model features an open design with no built-in seals, making it more susceptible to external contaminants. The absence of seals requires greater vigilance regarding the operating environment: optimal cleanliness must be ensured. However, this configuration allows for quick visual inspection of the bearing, facilitating early detection of anomalies. Accessible relubrication compensates for the lack of sealing by limiting particle intrusion when performed correctly.
