Schaeffler FAG X-life Spherical roller bearings offer higher reliability in heavy duty applications

Schaeffler is seeing an increase in demand for its robust, high performance range of spherical roller bearings, which are suitable for harsh operating environments.

Ideal for heavy duty industrial applications, particularly where very high load carrying capacities and reliability are key design criteria, or where there is a need to compensate for shaft misalignment, Schaeffler’s range of X-life spherical roller bearings offer longer operating life, improved machine performance and higher reliability.

The X-life range, which includes eight bearing series with bore diameters from 20mm up to 1,030mm, is suitable for various applications, including continuous casting machines used in steel processing, paper mills, vibrating screens and wind turbine rotor shafts.

X-life explained

Spherical roller bearings are double-row, self-contained units that comprise solid outer rings with a spherical raceway, solid inner rings and barrel rollers with cages. The inner rings have cylindrical or tapered bores.

Many bearing sizes within the spherical roller bearing range are available in X-life quality. As standard, these bearings have no central rib on the inner ring and are therefore able to use longer barrel rollers. Furthermore, the bearings benefit from improved kinematics and optimised surfaces. As a result, the basic dynamic load rating and basic rating life (under similar operating conditions) are improved significantly.

At Schaeffler, the systematic calculation of basic load ratings is compiled in the method “Method to investigate rolling bearing rating life”. This describes all calculation and test methods that are necessary in order to determine all the reference values that influence rating life. This procedure has been certified by Germanische Lloyd (GL-CER-002-2015).

For the customer, these benefits translate into higher machine availability, new design possibilities, more economical bearing solutions due to downsizing and lower operating costs due to reduced energy consumption.
