FAG 22240-BEA-XL-MB1-C3 SPHERICAL ROLLER BEARING

This FAG spherical roller bearing is the ideal solution for industrial applications with high load requirements. It features a robust one-piece brass cage guided on the inner ring, as well as an open design that provides robustness, thermal stability and excellent self-alignment.

Features:
This self-aligning bearing has two rows of symmetrical rollers that enable effective compensation of alignment errors and shaft deflections. The design with a floating centre rib and two fixed side ribs ensures an even distribution of radial loads and improved axial guidance. The impact- and temperature-resistant brass cage contributes to high mechanical stability. The radial clearance in C3 design (greater than standard) offers better tolerance to internal expansion and makes the bearing ideal for high-temperature or heavily loaded applications. Thanks to the X-life surface treatment, friction and wear are reduced, allowing higher operating speeds.

Maintenance:
Relubrication is facilitated by three lubrication holes and a circumferential lubrication groove in the outer ring. Regular maintenance is recommended, especially in contaminated environments. The use of compatible lubricants and adherence to maintenance intervals are crucial for the bearing’s service life. Prior to maintenance work, ensure cleanliness of the components to avoid ingress of harmful particles.

Sealing:
This model has an open design without integrated seals. While this facilitates visual inspection and improves heat dissipation, it also increases sensitivity to dust and moisture. The lubrication distributed evenly via the groove and holes provides partial protection against wear. A suitable bearing-housing seat and short relubrication intervals are essential for maximum service life.
