FAG 22316 EA M C3 Spherical Roller Bearing | 80x170x58 mm | High Load Brass Cage
The FAG 22316 EA M C3 Spherical Roller Bearing is engineered for extreme industrial applications where heavy radial and axial loads, combined with significant shaft misalignment or deflection, are common. Featuring two rows of barrels, this bearing is inherently self-aligning, allowing it to compensate for shaft deflections up to 2 degrees without detrimental effect on performance or lifespan. With an 80 mm bore, 170 mm outer diameter, and 58 mm width, this robust unit is optimized for use in gearboxes, continuous casting machines, large pumps, and heavy vibrating screens where reliability under harsh operating conditions is paramount.
This specific FAG variant, identified by the 'EA M C3' suffixes, signifies premium construction designed for maximum durability. The 'EA' designation denotes an optimized internal geometry and higher load-carrying capacity compared to standard designs. The 'M' indicates a precision-machined solid brass cage, which offers superior wear resistance and stability at higher temperatures and vibrational loads than standard pressed steel cages. Furthermore, the C3 internal radial clearance is standard for demanding industrial environments, ensuring necessary space for thermal expansion and effective lubrication.
