SCHAEFFLER’S BLACK SERIES
MATCHED RIBB BEARINGS
AND HOUSINGS DELIVER
EASY MOUNTING, EFFICIENCY
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

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.
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.
Robust, ready-to-fit, selfcontained
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.
