static load ratings, based on improved roller quality and optimized roller geometry. Significantly longer bearing service life is achieved for the same operating conditions. On the other hand, the previous operating life is achieved even with considerably increased loads. In new designs, smaller bearings reach the performance of larger bearings with the previous design. Reducing size helps achieve more cost-efficient bearing arrangements (smaller design envelope, less friction, less lubricant required, higher speeds). Lower operating costs are the result of Spherical roller bearings These bearings play a dominant role in paper Machines. The “Pulp & Paper” segment provides an appropriately large product range and excellent options. Typical variants include bearings with cylindrical or tapered bores, with increased radial clearance and running accuracy, with case-hardened inner rings, with lubrication holes in the inner rings or with split design for timesaving installation in hard-to-reach locations. Improved performance, X-life quality spherical Roller bearings E1 Up to 70 % longer basic rating life results from a 17 % increase in dynamic load ratings. The increased static load safety for these bearings is the result of increased improved bearing kinematics and better roller quality which keep friction and bearing temperatures at low levels. For this reason, there is also less strain on the lubricant.

Quality has a name: X-life X-life stands for premium products made by INA and FAG, that is products with an optimal operating life that goes far beyond previous known parameters. All of the factors necessary for smooth operation and for making investment decisions easier were considered and put into practice: • Optimized product characteristics, low-noise and easy-maintenance solutions with high load-carrying capacity meet and often exceed previous requirements • Improved price-performance ratio, faster payback through reduced downtimes and increased productivity • Training programs, the basic requirement for error-free mounting and dismantling as well as for meeting correct maintenance intervals and for selecting and using the appropriate lubricant.
