Black Series housing units can replace JIS equivalents

The FAG Black Series of radial insert ball bearings and housing units are an extension of Schaeffler's range of housing units and have been manufactured to Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS).


In terms of their boundary dimensions, mounting and lubrication, the FAG housing units correspond to those of Japanese brands. They are also available with inch size bore dimensions and are suitable for a variety of industrial applications, including harsh operating environments such as agricultural, construction and mining machinery.

Black Series radial insert ball bearings with a spherical outer ring are based on series 62 deep groove ball bearings and are manufactured to JIS B 1558. They are suitable for drawn shafts with tolerances of h6 to h9 and are designed for operating temperatures from -20 to 120°C.

The housing units are manufactured to JIS B 1559. The units comprise of flake graphite cast iron housings with a spherical seating in which radial insert ball bearings are located. The units are selectively matched and are available as plummer block, flanged or take-up housing units. Both the bearings and housing sleeve are surface treated with Durotect B that inhibits the formation of rust.
