WS 22208 E1 2RS FAG 40x80x28 - Spherical Roller Bearing

Spherical roller bearing for harsh industrial environments

WS version with enhanced moisture and corrosion resistance

High load capacity and operational stability

Main Description

WS 22208 E1 2RS FAG 40x80x28 is a heavy-duty spherical roller bearing designed for demanding industrial applications where high loads, shaft misalignment, and adverse environmental conditions occur simultaneously. The double-row spherical roller design enables the bearing to accommodate very high radial loads and axial loads in both directions, while maintaining stable performance under continuous operation.

The WS version indicates a special execution intended for humid, wet, or contaminated environments. Enhanced surface protection and optimized material solutions increase resistance to moisture and corrosion, significantly extending bearing service life in applications where standard bearings may fail prematurely. This makes the bearing particularly suitable for industries such as food processing, wood processing, paper production, and installations exposed to condensation or washdown conditions.

The E1 design represents a reinforced internal geometry with increased load capacity. Optimized roller profiles and raceways improve load distribution, reduce internal stress, and support long operating life under heavy-duty conditions. Combined with 2RS seals on both sides, the bearing interior is effectively protected against dirt, dust, and moisture while retaining lubrication inside the bearing. This enables long, maintenance-free operation and directly contributes to high durability.

The WS 22208 E1 2RS bearing is typically mounted in a robust bearing housing or used as part of a complete bearing unit in industrial machinery. Common applications include conveyors, crushers, industrial drives, processing equipment, and machines operating under high loads with possible shaft deflection.

Manufactured by FAG, this bearing meets strict quality standards required by professional B2B customers, offering reliable performance, repeatable parameters, and long service life in severe operating environments.
