Ball bearings

Power package with a long service life

Ball bearings are the most frequently used rolling bearing products and are a particularly economical solution. A long service life, high load capacity, guaranteed safety, reliable sealing technology and a particularly low noise level – these are all requirements that a ball bearing should meet. As a specialist for rolling bearing technology, we offer a wide range of ball bearings, including for special, extreme application conditions, and guarantee the best quality in four performance classes at optimum prices and with short delivery times.

  • axial load - Fa

    Fa is the designation for the axial load of a roller bearing.

    In the case of deep groove ball bearings, people often ask how high the axial load capacity is. In this case, the rule of thumb is that it is 1/3rd of the radial force.

  • Bearing clearance classes C2, CN, C3 and C4

    The bearing clearance classes for deep groove ball bearings determine the operating clearance in the interaction of the shaft and housing fit as well as the operating temperature.

  • Noise test by decibels

    The noise and vibration test for roller bearings takes place in dB in the noise classes Z, Z1, Z2, Z3 and Z4 according to S0910-1.

  • Noise test by vibration level for deep groove ball bearings

    Testing according to BVT-1 is also possible for special requirements. These bearings are classified into V, V1, V2, V3 and V4 according to the tolerance in µm/s.

  • Noise test by vibration level for tapered roller bearings

    Testing according to BVT-1 is also possible for special requirements. These bearings are classified into V, V1, V2, V3 and V4 according to the tolerance in µm/s.

Identifying and repairing rolling bearing damage

Rolling bearing damage can have a wide variety of causes and is not necessarily caused by a faulty original product. However, most companies are unable to carry out a detailed damage analysis – good thing Findling Wälzlager’s experts can provide further assistance here: Damage analysis is part of the service portfolio. Findling Wälzlager acts as an independent partner that looks into the causes of the ball bearing defects and helps solve problems.

How do I know if I’ve chosen the right bearing clearance class – C0, CN, CM, C2, C3...? An article from our konstruktiv! series. Tips series.

It is not the load rating but the right overall technical specifications that are decisive when it comes to the service life and performance of roller bearings.

Radial bearing/thrust bearing

Combined radial/thrust bearings hold a special position among rolling bearings: They are capable of simultaneously handling very large radial and axial forces and are characterized by their particularly compact design. Findling Wälzlager offers combined bearings in a wide variety of designs and rolling member pairings.

Deep groove ball bearings

With its ABEG® eXtreme product family, Findling Wälzlager offers high performance that is paired a longer service life and fast delivery times at a very good price/performance ratio. One of the four available series is Xclean: Deep-groove ball bearings, self-aligning ball bearings, thrust bearings, needle-roller bearings and numerous other series are suitable for use in damp, corrosive or aggressive chemical environments.

Customers benefit from high quality

Thin-section bearings are great for solving problems in applications where there is little installation space, but only if they are selected and used professionally. Findling Wälzlager GmbH has built up special expertise in this regard. This allows typical problems to be avoided from the outset, and the customer benefits from consistently high quality standards, regardless of whether they’re in the standard or premium segments.

The right roller bearing selection

There are a lot of popular misconceptions when it comes to the selection of roller bearings. A good example of this is the myth regarding the load capacity of roller bearings: the specification of the load factor in the catalog and above all the overall correct technical specification are both crucial in determining the performance of a bearing. When making the right selection, the bearing clearance and fit also play a decisive role in addition to the cage.
