FAG bearings for Industrial Gearboxes
Heavy Industrial Machinery Company supplies genuine FAG bearings and their mounting components for this application, with every designation checked against the equipment before the quote is issued.
Industrial gear units and mechanical drives for mills, conveyors, mixers and extruders rely on bearings to hold gear mesh and shaft position under high torque. Each shaft position may need a different bearing type and execution. A substitute matched only by size can shorten gearbox life.
- Use cylindrical roller bearings on input and intermediate shafts for high radial load capacity.
- Use tapered roller or angular contact bearings in matched arrangements where gear forces create axial loads.
- Specify the cage material and clearance suffix of the original bearing instead of matching by bore and outside diameter only.
- Record the position of each bearing in the gear unit so that reordering at the next overhaul is consistent.
