FAG 23256-BEA-XL-K-MB1-C3 SPHERICAL ROLLER BEARING

This FAG brand spherical roller bearing is designed to withstand extreme loads while ensuring stable operation, even under severe conditions. Featuring a solid, one-piece, open brass cage and a tapered bore, it compensates for misalignment and maintains mechanical performance. Its BEA design, specifically engineered for heavy-duty applications, is enhanced by X-life technology for extended service life.

Features:
This self-aligning bearing with two symmetrical rows of rollers combines a robust structure with a design optimized for dynamic loads. The brass cage ensures excellent mechanical stability at high speeds and under shock loads. The BEA configuration, with a floating center shoulder and rigid side shoulders, offers an ideal balance between axial support and radial load distribution. The C3 radial clearance limits internal heating. In addition, X-life technology ensures a superior raceway finish and increases operating life under load.

Maintenance:
This bearing is open, meaning it is designed without a sealing system. Lubrication is provided by the user via an integrated system: an annular groove and three ports allow for the injection of lubricant during operation. Before relubricating, the contact areas must be thoroughly cleaned, and a compatible grease must be used. Gradual application is recommended to preserve the integrity of the lubricant film and prevent overheating. Monitoring vibrations, noise, and temperature helps anticipate maintenance needs.

Sealing:
The open design of this spherical roller bearing allows for direct inspection of its internal condition and facilitates maintenance. However, the absence of seals makes it vulnerable to contaminants. It is therefore essential to install it in a clean or protected environment and to schedule frequent relubrication to minimize wear. The integrated lubrication system helps maintain a protective film even during prolonged use.

Information about the Brand:
FAG is a renowned brand in the field of bearings and mechanical components, recognized for its quality, reliability, and innovation. With decades of experience in the industry, FAG is committed to providing state-of-the-art solutions to meet its customers’ most demanding needs.

Key Benefits:
• Withstands very high combined radial and axial loads
• C3 clearance: effectively compensates for thermal expansion
• X-life technology: extended service life and reduced friction
• Brass cage: high resistance to shocks, vibrations, and temperatures
• 1:12 tapered bore: allows for precise adjustment of the internal radial clearance during installation by controlling the bearing’s axial position on the taper.
• Efficient and easy-to-maintain relubrication system

Applications:
This double-row roller bearing is ideal for crushers, presses, motorized drums, heavy-duty gearboxes, or continuous production lines. It is designed for high-stress environments: the mining industry, metallurgy, cement plants, or demanding mechanical systems. Its robustness makes it suitable for high speeds and prolonged thermal cycles.
