F Heavy Industrial Machinery Company
Authorized FAG supplier Industry solutions · Heavy machinery · Planned overhauls

FAG bearings selected for the operating condition, not just the size.

For quarries, cement plants, mines, conveyors, cranes and gearboxes. Heavy Industrial Machinery Company checks load direction, misalignment, lubrication and clearance before quoting genuine FAG bearings in original Schaeffler packaging.

§ A · Applications

FAG bearing applications we quote for

We supply FAG bearings and mounting parts for six recurring heavy-duty duties. Pick your equipment to see typical bearing positions, the details we confirm and the FAG series involved.

§ B · Application detail

What we confirm for each heavy machinery application

Each duty has its own failure modes, so each enquiry gets its own checklist. Below: typical bearing positions, the points we confirm before quoting, the related FAG series, and what buyers in that field told us.

Spherical roller bearing seated on a crusher main shaft in a quarry workshop 01 — Quarry crusher

Quarry crushers: clearance and sealing decide service life

Crusher bearings run under shock load in heavy dust. Matching the bore is not enough; radial clearance and the mounting arrangement must suit the shaft temperature and fit.

TYPICAL POSITIONS
Main / eccentric shaft, flywheel side and drive side, drive motor DE / NDE
RELATED FAG SERIES
Spherical roller bearings; housings and adapter sleeves
  • C4 clearance
  • Shock load
  • Dust sealing
  • Tapered bore + sleeve

“They confirmed the C4 clearance we needed and the bearing temperature has stayed normal through the season.”

Cement mill drive shaft with bearing housing opened for replacement 02 — Cement mill

Cement mills: identify the exact reference fast

When a mill bearing fails, the old ring is often worn and the suffix unreadable. We work from what remains: the partial number, dimensions, the position and the mill model.

TYPICAL POSITIONS
Mill drive shaft, main gearbox shafts, drive motor DE / NDE
RELATED FAG SERIES
Spherical roller bearings; cylindrical roller bearings
  • Full suffix
  • Worn nameplate
  • Execution version
  • Required date

“We sent the worn FAG number by WhatsApp and they identified the correct reference within hours.”

Boxed roller bearings stacked on shelves in a mine maintenance store 03 — Mining maintenance

Mining maintenance: consistent references, clean paperwork

Maintenance programmes buy the same positions again and again. Each line is quoted with the same full reference, and the original Schaeffler packaging and documents travel with the goods for customs.

TYPICAL POSITIONS
Conveyor pulleys, pumps, fans, motors across the plant fleet
RELATED FAG SERIES
Spherical and cylindrical roller bearings; deep groove ball bearings; housings
  • Repeat-order match
  • Quantities per line
  • Supporting documents

“The Schaeffler packaging was genuine throughout. Customs clearance at the port went through without holds.”

Conveyor drive pulley with pillow block housings on a steel frame 04 — Conveyor drive

Conveyor drives: stop the repeat failure

Long frames flex and pulleys run out of line. If the last bearing failed early, the same reference may fail again. We ask about load, misalignment and lubrication before confirming the series.

TYPICAL POSITIONS
Drive and tail pulleys, reducer shafts, motor DE / NDE
RELATED FAG SERIES
Spherical roller bearings; housings, adapter sleeves
  • Misalignment
  • Load direction
  • Lubrication

“Their engineer asked about load direction, misalignment and lubrication before confirming the FAG series. That prevented a repeat failure on our conveyor drive.”

Crane hoist drum and wheel assembly being serviced 05 — Crane / material handling

Cranes and material handling: combined loads, exact fit

Hoists and travel wheels carry radial and axial load together. Tapered roller arrangements must match the specified execution so the fit measured on site matches the catalogue.

TYPICAL POSITIONS
Hoist drum, travel wheels, slewing and hook blocks
RELATED FAG SERIES
Tapered roller bearings; thrust bearings
  • Radial + axial load
  • Paired arrangement
  • Fit to specification

“Our engineer measured the fit on arrival and it matched the catalogue. The crane has run without issues since.”

Industrial gearbox shafts with cylindrical roller bearings on a workbench 06 — Gearbox transmission

Gearbox transmissions: special execution is not a size

Gearbox specifications often call for a special execution: cage, clearance or ring design. A bearing of the same dimensions does not prove it suits the gearbox, so we check the full designation for each shaft.

TYPICAL POSITIONS
Input, intermediate and output shafts; fixed and floating ends
RELATED FAG SERIES
Cylindrical roller bearings; tapered roller bearings; angular contact bearings
  • Special execution
  • Cage and clearance
  • Axial location

Send the gearbox model and the bearing reference for each shaft.

§ C · Selection dialogue

Three questions we ask before confirming a FAG series

Before we confirm a FAG series, we ask about load direction, misalignment and lubrication. Your answers decide whether the listed reference is right or needs a change you approve.

F

01 · LOAD DIRECTION

Is the load at this position mainly radial, mainly axial, or both? Any shock loads at start-up or from the process?

WHY IT MATTERS

Combined loads point to tapered roller or angular contact designs; heavy radial and shock loads point to spherical or cylindrical roller bearings.

F

02 · MISALIGNMENT

Does the shaft deflect under load, or are the housings on separate frames that can move out of line?

WHY IT MATTERS

Self-aligning designs such as spherical roller bearings tolerate angular misalignment. Rigid designs in a misaligned position wear early.

F

03 · LUBRICATION & CLEARANCE

Grease or oil? How hot does the position run, and how much dust or water reaches it?

WHY IT MATTERS

Temperature and fit affect the internal clearance you need, such as C3 or C4. Contamination affects the seal or shield version.

§ D · Planned overhauls

How to structure a FAG overhaul list

Write one line per bearing position, with DE and NDE kept apart and every housing and sleeve on its own line. That way quantities, positions and assemblies are checked before the quote, not on site.

  1. 01Split by positionDrive end and non-drive end on separate lines, even if the reference is the same.
  2. 02Write the full designationInclude the suffix for seal, clearance and execution, not a shortened stock code.
  3. 03List mounting parts separatelyAdapter sleeves, housings and related components, each with its own quantity.
  4. 04Mark accepted alternativesAny alternative is listed separately and needs your approval.
  5. 05Add date and destinationShutdown date, destination country and postcode for the written quote.
