In excavator arms, articulation/swivel joints, wheel suspension arrangements or similar applications, most bearing positions in construction machinery are subjected to swivel motion with high loads.

Internal combustion engines require cyclic supply of fresh air and the exhaust air produced during combustion must be removed. In a 4-stroke combustion engine, the intake of fresh air and removal of exhaust air is called charge exchange. In the course of several charge exchange cycles, the cylinder control devices (inlet and outlet ports) are periodically opened and closed by shut-off devices (intake and exhaust valves). Shut-off devices fulfil special tasks. They have to: - clear the largest possible opening diameter; - perform opening and closing processes rapidly; - have streamlined design to minimize pressure loss; - ensure effective sealing when closed; - provide advanced durability characteristics.

FAG 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.

Unexpected equipment failures can be expensive and potentially catastrophic, resulting in unplanned production downtime, costly replacement of parts and safety and environmental concerns. Predictive Maintenance (PdM) is a process for monitoring equipment during operation in order to identify any deterioration, enabling maintenance to be planned and operational costs reduced. Rolling bearings are critical components used extensively in rotating equipment and, if they fail unexpectedly, can result in a catastrophic failure with associated high repair and replacement costs.
