Barrel Roller Bearings FAG 20230 -MB

FAG Wälzlager 20230 -MB spherical roller bearing: Single-row roller bearing measuring 150 x 270 x 45 mm, with a brass cage and standard radial clearance, designed for demanding radial loads.

The 20230 -MB barrel bearing from FAG Rolling Bearings is a single-row roller bearing designed primarily to accommodate high radial forces. Thanks to the hollow-spherical design of the outer ring raceway, this design automatically compensates for misalignment and shaft deflection during operation. The component has a cylindrical bore of 150 mm, an outer diameter of 270 mm and a width of 45 mm. Designed as an open rolling bearing, it can be flexibly integrated into existing lubrication systems in industrial plants.

What is the 20230-MB spherical roller bearing suitable for?

This roller bearing is primarily used in heavy-duty mechanical engineering where shock loads and misalignments occur. Its use is recommended in designs where shafts yield elastically under load. As the bearing compensates for angular misalignment, no harmful edge stresses arise on the raceways. Manufacture to the standard tolerance class P0/PN (corresponding to ABEC 1) enables straightforward installation in bearing seats with standard tolerances.

What are the advantages of the version with a brass cage?

The solid brass cage gives the 20230-MB spherical roller bearing high resistance to vibrations, acceleration forces and oscillations. Furthermore, this cage variant supports a wide temperature range from –30 to +200 degrees Celsius. The standard radial bearing clearance ensures smooth running under normal operating conditions. As the bearing is an open design with no integrated seal, the bearing housing requires an external housing seal as well as a regulated supply of grease or oil.
