X-life large cylindrical rolling bearings from Schaeffler

Schaeffler has extended its X-life family of cylindrical rolling bearings to include larger modules with outside diameters up to 1,600mm.

The range includes both full complement cylindrical rolling bearings and cylindrical rolling bearings with cages. Schaeffler claims the devices offer up to 20% higher basic dynamic load ratings and a longer nominal operating life compared to standard bearings, enabling customers to optimise design envelopes by either downsizing the bearings or by using the same size bearings with improved performance.
