Industrial rotating machinery
Motors, fans, pumps, gearboxes and process machines outside the hull and the quay.
The same bearing families serve land industry. What changes is the documentation: OEM part lists, housing numbers, and a maintenance history are often available and should be sent with the inquiry.
Schaeffler Lifetime Solutions is published for maintenance teams in process industries as well as for other plants. FEX can ask about products in that portfolio. FEX does not, on this website, take on condition-monitoring service, remanufacturing or certified mounting as its own work.
What to include
- Plant, machine and bearing position.
- Designation, housing and the lubricant in use.
- Failure notes: temperature, noise, grease condition, hours.
- Whether you need a bearing, a tool, a sensor or a manufacturer service.
Products
- Spherical roller bearings
Self-aligning roller bearings for shafts that deflect or sit out of line.
- Split spherical roller bearings
A split ring construction for machines where the shaft should stay in place.
- Cylindrical roller bearings
High radial capacity, with separable rings that simplify some gearbox and motor assemblies.
- Tapered roller bearings
Combined radial and axial load. Mounting is adjusted, so the end-play belongs in the inquiry.
- Deep groove ball bearings
The usual bearing in electric motors, small pumps and fans.
- Angular contact ball bearings
Ball bearings for axial load in a defined direction, often mounted as a pair.
- Thrust roller bearings
Spherical roller thrust and cylindrical roller thrust bearings for predominantly axial load.
- Housings and plummer blocks
The housing that locates a bearing: split plummer blocks and flanged housings.
- OPTIME condition monitoring
Schaeffler wireless vibration and temperature sensors, gateways and the OPTIME app.
