Barrel Roller Bearings FAG 20240 -MB

The 20240 -MB spherical roller bearing from FAG Wälzlager is designed to support high radial loads and has main dimensions of 200 × 360 × 58 mm.

The 20240 -MB spherical roller bearing from FAG Wälzlager is a single-row, angular-contact bearing designed to accommodate heavy radial forces. Thanks to the spherical barrel rollers, this design compensates for misalignment between the shaft and housing during operation. With a bore of 200 mm, an outer diameter of 360 mm and a width of 58 mm, the component is suitable for heavy-duty industrial plant. Design engineers and maintenance personnel use the version conforming to tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1 for demanding operating environments in mechanical engineering.

What is the 20240-MB spherical roller bearing suitable for in operation?

This barrel bearing is primarily used in bearing locations where high radial loads act on the shaft and where misalignment or deflection may occur. Typical areas of application include heavy-duty shaft bearings, industrial gearboxes and general mechanical engineering. Thanks to its permissible temperature range of –30 to +200 degrees, the bearing is also suitable for environments subject to thermal stress. The symmetrical shape of the barrel rollers ensures an even load distribution across the raceways.

What features does the brass cage of bearing 20240 -MB offer?

The suffix ‘-MB’ denotes a solid brass cage that guides the rolling elements precisely and withstands high mechanical stresses. Compared to standard cages, brass performs well under vibrations and at elevated temperatures. As this is an open bearing, users can tailor the lubrication supply directly to the relevant operating parameters. Before installation, the standard radial bearing clearance and the mounting dimensions of 200 mm inner diameter and 360 mm outer diameter must be checked.
