Optimal Paper Production
Full-Service Bearing TechnologyFAG Kugelfischer is a pioneer in the rolling bearing industry. In 1883, Friedrich Fischer designed a ball grinding machine. This idea is regarded as the historic beginning of the rolling bearing industry. INA’s success story began in 1949 with the development of the needle roller and cage assembly by Dr. Georg Schaeffler, an ingenious idea that helped the needleroller bearing achieve an industrial breakthrough.

Radial Insert Ball Bearings and Housing Units
Black SeriesThe new radial insert ball bearing and housing units FAG Black Series from Schaeffler Group give easy mounting, smooth running and high reliability and thus allow particularly economical bearing arrangements. The dimensions of the FAG housings, made from flake graphite cast iron and with a primer paint coating, conform to JIS B 1559. These single piece cast housings can support moderate to high radial and axial loads. The radial insert ball bearings have basic protection against corrosion due to the Durotect® coating. The bearing units are particularly suitable for applications with moderate to high loads.

Split spherical roller bearings
Costs savings through rapid bearing replacement at difficult to access bearing locationsSplit spherical roller bearings are principally used where the replacement of unsplit spherical roller bearings would require costly additional work, involving the removal of gears or couplings, the dismounting of drives or the dismantling of shaft power trains. The use of split spherical roller bearings reduces the downtime of machinery and plant.

Spherical Roller Bearings E1
Higher cost-effectiveness and operational security with X-lifeFAG spherical roller bearings have proved highly effective wherever high loads are present and there is a need to compensate for shaft deflections and/or misalignment of bearing seats.

Reconditioning and Repair of Rolling Bearings
The characteristics and condition of rolling bearings have a significant influence on the production process. Preventive and condition-based maintenance measures are intended to maintain a consistently high level of plant availability.

Hybrid deep groove ball bearings in spreader rolls
Paper machines generally run 24 hours a day, more than 350 days a year. If the machine experiences unplanned downtime, this incurs additional costs of the order of several thousand euros per hour. All the components must be highly reliable. A long operating life is also required. For conventional deep groove ball bearings in spreader rolls, a fatigue life of more than 100 000 hours has been calculated. In practice, however, the service life actually achieved is often significantly less than 20 000 hours.

Conversion of the creping cylinder in a tissue paper machine
Tissue paper machines are used to manufacture particularly soft and absorbent paper. The most important component in this application is the large, steam-heated creping cylinder on which the sheet is dried and creped under a high temperature hood.
