Barrel Roller Bearings FAG 20222 -MB

The 20222 -MB spherical roller bearing from FAG Wälzlager, measuring 110 x 200 x 38 mm and featuring a brass cage, provides a robust bearing solution for high radial loads.

The single-row 20222 -MB spherical roller bearing from FAG Wälzlager withstands high radial loads and automatically compensates for misalignment between the shaft and housing. The angularly adjustable design counteracts harmful edge pressures when the shaft deflects under load. As an open roller bearing, this version is designed for operation in oil- or grease-lubricated housings. It is suitable for stationary industrial plant as well as for mobile power units in continuous industrial use.

What is the 20222 -MB barrel bearing suitable for?

The 20222 -MB barrel bearing is primarily used where heavy radial loads act on long shafts. Typical applications include industrial gearboxes and heavy-duty shaft mountings where elastic deformation of the supporting structure or shaft deflection may occur. Thanks to the spherical barrel rollers, the rolling bearing compensates for misaligned shaft axes without causing additional friction. In combination with rigid housings, the design promotes smooth running even under varying operational loads.

What advantages does the brass cage offer in this bearing?

The solid brass cage gives the 20222-MB barrel bearing high mechanical stability against vibrations, shocks and accelerations. Compared to simple sheet metal cages, brass retains its strength even at elevated operating temperatures. Combined with the wide temperature range of –30 to +200 degrees, the guidance of the rolling elements remains stable. When designing the system, care must be taken to ensure a suitable lubricant supply to the open bearing.
