Schaeffler FAG split bearing technologies for lower TCO

Schaeffler has combined three of its split technologies to reduce TCO and save time and machinery downtime. Its Split SNS Housing, Split Spherical Roller Bearing and NTSG Split Labyrinth Seal can be combined or used individually to allow repairs and maintenance to be carried out easily and efficiently.

Split technologies (as opposed to standard non-split bearings, seals and plummer blocks) mean machinery can be disassembled swiftly for parts maintenance or replacement.

The latest FAG split technologies also increase safety by reducing the amount of heavy disassembly and assembly tasks typical of maintenance on machinery such as conveying equipment, materials processing plant, ventilation plant, rolling and milling equipment, energy and water utility machinery and primary processing plant including timber, paper and agribusiness machinery.

Complex additional tasks — such as removing gears and clutches, dismounting drives and dismantling shaft lines — are no longer necessary with split components.

FAG split technologies are typically applied to machinery such as bucket wheel excavators and reclaimers, winches and sheaves, worm conveyors, bucket conveyors, belt conveyors, mixing and stirring plant, mills and crushers, sintering plant, fans and ventilators, dust extraction plant, and drive and transmission shafts.
