Description
FAG Deep Groove Ball Bearings
FAG deep groove ball bearings are available in radial and axial designs for many different variants.
Single-row deep groove ball bearings are available in open and sealed designs. They are designed for high to very high speeds and can accommodate radial as well as axial forces.
Double-row deep groove ball bearings correspond with single-row deep groove ball bearings in design and are used when the radial load capacity of single-row deep groove ball bearings is insufficient.
FAG axial deep groove ball bearings are available in single or double-direction design variants. These bearings are especially well suited to high axial loads.
Features & benefits
Single row bearings are particularly suitable where:
- High and very high speeds are required
- The bearing arrangement must be operated with very low friction
- Very low running noise is required, without reducing the speed, load carrying capacity and operating life of the bearing (Generation C)
- High demands are made on the sealing of the bearing, without increasing heat generation or limiting the speed (Generation C)
- The bearing position is to be designed particularly economically
Double row bearings can be considered for bearing arrangements where:
- The load carrying capacity of single row deep groove ball bearings is no longer sufficient
- Axial loads in both directions and/or tilting moments must be supported in addition to radial loads
- A high load carrying capacity is required and the design envelope available in a radial and axial direction is relatively small
Axial deep groove ball bearings:
- Standardised, ready-to-fit units with high axial load carrying capacity
- Suitable exclusively for the support of predominantly axial loads
- Particularly suitable where the bearing position is subjected to high axial loads from one or both sides, but the requirements for axial load carrying capacity are not so high that axial cylindrical roller bearings with even higher load carrying capacity must be used
- Permit higher speeds than roller or needle roller and cage assemblies
- Compensate, in conjunction with a spherical housing locating washer, static misalignments between the shaft and housing
Product variants of deep groove ball bearings
Deep groove ball bearings
Deep groove ball bearings are versatile, self-retaining bearings with solid outer rings, inner rings and ball and cage assemblies. These bearings with their simple design, high resistance and low-maintenance, are available in single-row and double-row designs, as well as sealed and unsealed. Due to the manufacturing processes used, open bearings can have turned recesses in the outer ring for seals or shields.
Thanks to their low frictional torque, deep groove ball bearings can be used for high speeds.
Axial deep groove ball bearings
Axial deep groove ball bearings comprise shaft locating washers, housing locating washers and ball and cage assemblies. The bearings are not self-retaining; the ball and cage assembly and bearing washers can therefore be fitted separately. In addition to the series with flat washers, series are also available with spherical housing locating washers for the compensation of static angular misalignment. These designs are normally used in conjunction with seating washers.
Axial deep groove ball bearings are available in single and double direction designs. Both designs can support high axial forces but cannot be subjected to radial loads.
FAG Generation C deep groove ball bearings
Deep groove ball bearings of generation C were specially developed in relation to low noise levels and low frictional torque. They are particularly suitable, for example, for use in electrical machinery, ventilators, washing machines and power tools. Design changes such as improved bearing kinematics, new seals and cages, as well as a refined manufacturing process generate several benefits for the generation C deep groove ball bearings.
