The units comprise of flake graphite cast iron housings with a spherical seating in which radial insert ball bearings are located.<\/p>\n<p>The units are selectively matched and are available with seven different black painted housings as \u2018plummer block\u2019, flanged or take-up housing units.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure function and reliability under all operating conditions, the bearings and housings are matched to each other with a defined swivel torque after mounting.<\/p>\n<p>All catalogue cast iron units have a medium swivel torque (as standard); further designs with a smaller or greater swivel torque, depending on their application, are available on demand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Misalignment of shafts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When fitted in housings the spherical seating can allow for static misalignment of the shaft\/assembly.<\/p>\n<p>The housings have a re-lubrication facility and are supplied with the appropriate grease fitting and dust cap. The units are energy-efficient and require very little grease and minimal maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>An RSR seal with a flinger shield in front of it reliably protects the bearings from dust and other contaminants.<\/p>\n<p>Optimised geometry, high ball quality and honed raceway surfaces ensure quiet running.<\/p>\n<p>As Sally Sillis, Technology Centre Manager at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.engineernewsnetwork.com\/blog\/schaeffler-integrates-sensor-technology-into-its-spindle-bearings\/\">Schaeffler UK<\/a>, comments: \u201cThe number of applications for Black Series radial insert ball bearings is increasing. For customers who require a direct drop-in replacement housing unit for their existing Japanese-manufactured one, the Black Series is an easy to mount, smooth running, low noise alternative that can support moderate to high radial and axial loads.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Durotect BS coating counteracts the formation of rust and the proven seal, firmly staked in the outer ring, also prevents displacement during the re-lubrication process. This means longer operating life, reduced maintenance and increased availability of plant and machinery. In addition, the outer ring seal does not contain any harmful DBP [<em>Dinbutylphthalate<\/em>] softeners, which is particularly important in many food processing and agricultural applications,\u201d adds Sillis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Schaeffler&#8217;s FAG Black Series of housing units are manufactured to Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS).
