FAG 1304 Self-aligning ball bearing high quality

Self-aligning ball bearing features

Self-aligning ball bearings have two rows of balls, a common sphered raceway in the outer ring and two deep uninterrupted raceway grooves in the inner ring.  

They are insensitive to angular misalignment of the shaft relative to the housing, which can be caused, for example, by shaft deflection.

It commodates static and dynamic misalignment, haa excellent high-speed performance, excellent light load performance and low friction.

Installation Methods and Usage Precautions for Self-aligning Ball Bearing                                                

The installation of self-aligning ball bearings is a crucial process that can significantly impact the performance and longevity of the bearing. 

Here is a detailed guide on the installation method and usage precautions for self-aligning ball bearings: 

Installation Method: 

Cleanliness is key: Before installation, ensure that the mounting surfaces are clean and free of any dirt, dust, or debris that could affect the bearing's performance. 

Proper handling: Handle the bearing with care to prevent any damage to the components. Avoid dropping or hitting the bearing during installation. 

Correct mounting: Ensure that the bearing is mounted in the correct orientation and position as per the manufacturer's instructions. 

Improper mounting can lead to misalignment and premature bearing failure. 

Use appropriate tools: Utilize the correct tools and equipment for mounting the bearing to prevent any damage to the bearing or surrounding components. 

Lubrication: Proper lubrication is essential for the smooth operation of the bearing. Make sure to lubricate the bearing as per the manufacturer's recommendations. 

Usage Precautions: 

Misalignment: Self-aligning ball bearings are designed to accommodate misalignment to a certain extent. 

However, excessive misalignment can lead to increased wear and reduced bearing life. 

Temperature: Monitor the operating temperature of the bearing to ensure it remains within the recommended range. 

High temperatures can accelerate wear and cause premature failure. 

Overloading: Avoid overloading the bearing beyond its rated capacity as it can lead to increased stress and potential failure. 

Contamination: Protect the bearing from contamination by sealing it properly and keeping the surrounding area clean. 

Regular maintenance: Perform regular inspections and maintenance checks to detect any issues early and prevent unexpected failures. 

In summary, the correct installation of self-aligning ball bearings, along with following usage precautions, 

is essential for ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the bearing. 

By adhering to these guidelines, you can maximize the efficiency and reliability of your machinery.

Introduction and Knowledge of Self-aligning Ball Bearing                                                                            

The FAG 1304 Self-aligning ball bearing is recognized for its high quality and reliability in various industrial applications.

• Model and Specifications: The FAG 1304 bearing, specifically the 1304-TVH model, is a self-aligning ball bearing with a robust design that accommodates angular misalignments. It has an inner diameter of 20mm, an outer diameter of 52mm, and a thickness of 14mm
  

• Quality: FAG is known for its high-quality bearings, and the 1304-TVH is no exception. It is manufactured to meet the stringent quality standards of the FAG brand, ensuring durability and reliability
  

• Applications: This bearing is widely used in transmission devices, construction machinery, vibrating screens, machine tools, automobiles, metallurgy, mining, petroleum, machinery, electric power, motors, fans, and railways
  

• Performance: The FAG 1304 bearing is designed to handle radial and axial loads, making it suitable for applications where the load conditions are demanding. Its self-aligning feature allows for easier installation and reduces the need for precise alignment during setup
  

• Technical Information: FAG bearings, including the 1304 model, are part of the Schaeffler Group's product line. The FAG Hybrid Deep Groove Ball Bearings technical information indicates that hybrid bearings, which may include models like the 1304, offer advantages such as increased service life, high-speed suitability, and electrical properties due to their ceramic rolling elements and steel rings
  

• Electrical Properties: Due to their high electrical resistance, HC bearings, like the FAG 1304, act as insulators and are insensitive to capacitive currents, making them suitable for applications where there is a risk of electrical current passage
  

• High-Speed Suitability: The attainable speed of HC bearings, including the FAG 1304, can be estimated to be more than 10% higher than that of standard bearings, offering higher speeds when other factors influencing speed are adapted
  

• Lubrication: Hybrid bearings like the FAG 1304 require less lubricant and can be lubricated with all commonly used rolling bearing lubricants. They are expected to achieve a significantly longer grease life, at least twice that of standard deep groove ball bearings
  

• Cost-Effectiveness: Although the cost of hybrid bearings is higher than that of steel ball bearings, their favorable cost-benefit ratio often results in a short amortization period, making them cost-effective in the long run
