Barrel Roller Bearings FAG 20226 -MB

The FAG 20226 -MB spherical roller bearing, with dimensions of 130 x 230 x 40 mm and a brass cage, offers a robust solution for angular-contact radial applications.

The 20226 -MB spherical roller bearing is a single-row rolling bearing that withstands high radial loads and compensates for misalignment between the shaft and housing. Manufactured by FAG Wälzlager, the bearing has a cylindrical bore of 130 mm, an outer diameter of 230 mm and a width of 40 mm. It is suitable for demanding designs in industrial machinery and plant engineering where deflection or misalignment may occur during operation.

What are the industrial applications of the 20226-MB spherical roller bearing?

Design engineers and maintenance personnel use this design primarily where shock-like radial forces act and angular adjustability is required. Suitable applications include bearing locations with shaft deflection and misalignment between the inner and outer rings. As the crowned rollers run on a hollow spherical outer ring raceway, the bearing can accommodate operational angular misalignments without additional constraint stresses. With a temperature range of -30 to +200 degrees, the component is also designed for installation in environments subject to thermal stress.

What are the advantages of the brass cage in the -MB version?

The suffix ‘-MB’ denotes a brass cage. This cage material is recommended for use at elevated operating temperatures, under high acceleration or in the presence of vibrations, as brass offers favourable sliding properties and is mechanically robust. As this is an open bearing without an integrated seal, the choice of lubricant and housing sealing must be adapted on site to the ambient conditions. The version complies with the standard tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1.
