Schaeffler FAG Generation C deep-groove ball bearings

Monday, 30 November, 2015 | Supplied by: Schaeffler Australia Pty Ltd


The Schaeffler FAG Generation C deep-groove ball bearings are claimed to offer 50% less noise, 35% less friction and reduced energy consumption compared with conventional technology. In addition to reducing maintenance factors, the single-row bearings also eliminate dust ingress where required in machinery used in challenging environments.

The self-retaining bearings — standard models of which can be used in an operating temperature up to 120°C (unsealed) and -30 to 110°C sealed — are suitable for applications where reliability, avoidance of downtime and environmental issues are important.

Applications of the bearings (in size ranges from bore diameters 10 to 50 mm) extend from electric motors used in the resources and energy areas — including conveyor idlers, winches, lifting equipment and drives — through to manufacturing, construction, food and beverages and primary processing applications, such as HVAC, refrigeration, fans, power tools, washing machines and agricultural machinery.

The deep-groove ball bearings generate low friction, so they directly enhance the efficiency of smaller industrial electric motors — the capacity of which are largely determined by power loss of their bearings. Other features of the ball bearings include optimised raceways to reduce friction; a choice of robust riveted steel cage or polyamide cage with good sliding and wear characteristics for high speeds; and a seal concept that significantly improves bearing operating life.
