Self-Aligning Ball B. FAG 1315 -M

The 1315-M double-row self-aligning ball bearing compensates for misalignment, measures 75 x 160 x 37 mm and features a brass cage for demanding industrial applications.

The 1315-M self-aligning ball bearing from FAG Rolling Bearings is a double-row rolling bearing with a hollow-spherical outer ring raceway, which automatically compensates for misalignment between the inner and outer rings. With a bore of 75 mm, an outer diameter of 160 mm and a width of 37 mm, this bearing is suitable for shafts subject to misalignment or deflection. The open component is made of 100Cr6 rolling bearing steel and is suitable for a temperature range of -30 to +150 degrees.

In which designs does the 1315-M self-aligning ball bearing compensate for misalignment?

Designs with long shafts are prone to elastic deflection or misalignment between the bearing positions under operational loads. In such cases, the 1315-M self-aligning ball bearing guides the rotating parts, as the two rows of balls can adjust freely within the spherical outer ring. Typical applications can be found in general mechanical engineering as well as in conveyor and drive systems. Thanks to the open design, you can flexibly adapt the lubricant to the respective operating environment.

What characteristics does the brass cage of the -M version offer?

The suffix ‘-M’ indicates a brass cage that guides the rolling elements. Brass cages are characterised by high strength and prove particularly effective in the presence of vibrations or at higher operating temperatures up to +150 degrees. Brass offers excellent dimensional stability under mechanical stress. When fitting the open bearing, ensure a clean installation environment and a suitable lubrication scheme, as no sealing washers are fitted as standard.
