With Schaeffler, customers can always draw on a wide-ranging portfolio of products.

FAG TORB (Toroidal Roller Bearing) is a floating bearing that combines the facility for
angular adjustment of a spherical roller bearing with the facility for constraint-free
axial displacement of a cylindrical or needle roller bearing. The interchangeability
with existing bearings is given. In the paper industry, TORB offers advantages in ap-
plications for dryer rolls, press rolls, suction rolls and thermo rolls.

displacements
TORB can support misalignment of up to 0,5
and axial shaft displacements of up to 10 percent of
the bearing width with hardly any friction - and without
additional axial load
A tight outer ring fit prevents frictional corrosion
High radial load carrying capacity
Special geometry of the rollers, raceways and cages
Support of various load levels, from low to very high
Optimum support of radial loads due to the special
internal construction
Low vibration levels
TORB reduces the axial vibrations in the entire bearing
system
No build-up of axial force, due to the constraint-free
displacement facility within the toroidal roller bearing

A Finnish company operating in

conclusion: We are satisfied with the
selection of this floating bearing and would
continue to use it again.
The site operator of a German
paper mill says We produce more than
300 000 tonnes of paper per year. This
means we need bearings that can reduce
vibrations, compensate misalignments
and ideally achieve this without friction.
After changing to the TORB bearing, we

Low operating temperatures have a solution that fulfils our latest

Reduced strain on the lubricant requirements.

Reduced energy consumption The advantages of X-life for you

Longer bearing life and high operational
security due to:
Optimum distribution of load in the bearing
Reduced friction - low levels of vibration
Load-free axial displacement of the non-locating bearing
Reduced strain on the locating bearing
TORB is available in many common series and
designs, and of course always in X-life quality.
If the load and design are unchanged, X-life bearings have
a longer rating life and operating life. Longer maintenance
intervals are possible.
Conversely, an X-life bearing with the same design
and the same rating life can support higher loads.

Where both the rating life and the load are unchanged, the use of
X-life bearings results in greater performance density, and allows
an optimisation of the design and a weight reduction.
