SCHAEFFLER’S
BLACK SERIES
MATCHED RIBB BEARINGS AND HOUSINGS DELIVER
EASY MOUNTING AND HIGH COST-EFFICIENCY
Robust, ready-to-fit, self-contained
Radial Insert Ball Bearings (RIBB)
and matched housing units from
Schaeffler provide simplified
mounting, smooth running, high
reliability and economical bearing arrangements
for primary product processing and industrial
applications.
The new Black Series of Schaeffler’s RIBB ball
bearings and housing units – engineered for
moderate-to-high loads – are particularly suited
to agricultural applications and harsh operating
environments found in Australia and New Zealand,
says Schaeffler Australia, the long-established
local operation of the global bearing technology
leader Schaeffler, with 98,000 employees in 50
countries.
Schaeffler’s single-piece cast housings, made
from flake graphite cast iron, are engineered in
accordance with the dimensional requirements
of Japanese Industry Standard JIS B 1558. Their
complementary RIBB bearings – also engineered
in accordance with JSI B 1558 – are based on
single row deep groove Series 62 ball bearings.
Housings feature primer preparation and bearings
feature Schaeffler’s Durotect BS coating to
provide anti-corrosion protection for challenging
operating conditions. Their durability, as well as
easy installation and running features integral to
reliability and avoidance of downtime, make the
bearings particularly suited to applications such
as:
• Agricultural machinery, including machinery and
bulk handling equipment used in processing
of primary products, food container filling and
packaging machinery
• Power transmission, pumps, industrial fans and
conveying equipment used in bulk handling,
processing and manufacturing
Schaeffler FAG Housing units feature a concave
bore into which the RIBB bearings with spherical
outer ring are fitted. This configuration can
compensate for static misalignment of the shaft,
further enhancing mounting versatility and
durability in service, says Schaeffler Australia.
The bearing and housing units are matched
to each other for precision performance. For
mounting flexibility, the combinations are available
as plummer block housing units, flanged housing
units and take-up housing units.
Housing units are supplied with a loose-packed
lubrication nipple and integrated end cap for the
lubrication nipple as well as an Allen key. Black
Series radial insert ball bearings are available with
two location methods and one type of seal. They
can be relubricated and are particularly easy to
install.
Schaeffler RIBB bearing and housing combination,
matched to each other for optimised performance
Schaeffler radial insert ball bearings
feature honed raceways of the bearing
rings, in conjunction with the high ball
grade, ensuring quiet running and
reduced frictional torque. Radial insert
ball bearings are pre-greased and can
be relubricated.
