High performance toroidal rolling bearings

The FAG TORB range of toroidal rolling bearings is manufactured to Schaeffler’s premium quality X-life standard and are single row rolling bearings with long, slightly spherical rollers.

This enables the FAG TORB to combine the angular adjustment capabilities of a spherical roller bearing with the axial displacement capabilities of a cylindrical or needle roller bearing. The bearings are suitable for a variety of industrial applications, including steel rolling mills (e.g. continuous casting plants), belt and conveyor systems, paper machines (e.g. drying cylinders), marine drives, turbomachinery used in power generation (e.g. ventilators), textile machines, crushers, food processing machines, and agricultural machinery.

FAG TORB toroidal rolling bearings are available in two versions: as full complement bearings or as a caged version. When the design envelope is restricted, the caged bearing provides very high radial load carrying capacity, even when skewing or axial displacements need to be compensated for. The full complement bearing offers a particularly high load carrying capacity.

FAG TORB bearings allow the operational reliability and cost-effectiveness of locating/non-locating bearing supports to be significantly increased.
