FAG FRM110/13 Locating Ring
When you're building machinery where precision is paramount, you simply can't compromise on components. That's why we at Tuli recommend the FAG FRM110/13 Locating Ring. This isn't just any ring; it's a precisely engineered component designed to secure bearings axially within a housing, ensuring everything stays put exactly where it should. Manufactured from robust steel and featuring precise dimensions of a 100 mm inner diameter, 110 mm outer diameter, and a 13 mm thickness, this locating ring is a testament to FAG's commitment to quality. It’s crucial for applications requiring stable, unwavering performance, helping you to achieve optimal operational efficiency and extend the lifespan of your entire assembly. We know that every millimetre matters, and with FAG, you get that peace of mind.
Examples of use
So, where would you typically find this unsung hero? The FAG FRM110/13 Locating Ring shines in applications where you need to firmly lock a bearing's axial position within its housing. Think industrial gearboxes, pumps, electric motors, or any heavy-duty machinery where a bearing needs to be precisely aligned and restricted from unwanted movement along the shaft. It's especially useful in setups with non-locating bearings that allow for thermal expansion, as it can define one fixed point, ensuring the entire system operates with predictable accuracy. It’s what gives stability to dynamic systems.
Designation system
Understanding an FAG bearing's designation is like reading a secret code, and for the FRM110/13, it's quite straightforward. This system succinctly provides the most critical dimensional information, allowing for quick and accurate identification and replacement. We'll break down what each part means for this specific locating ring, so you know exactly what you're getting, without any guesswork.
Designation Part | Meaning |
|---|
FRM | Locating Ring (Festring) |
110 | Outer diameter 'd' in mm |
13 | Thickness 'b' in mm |
Precision-engineered FAG locating ring for axial bearing retention.
Made from durable steel for long-lasting performance.
Dimensions: 100 mm inner diameter, 110 mm outer diameter, 13 mm thickness.
Essential for accurate bearing positioning in industrial applications.
Designed for easy, yet precise, mounting and secure fit.
Lubrication and maintenance
Now, for the good news: the locating ring itself doesn't require lubrication! Its primary job is mechanical positioning, not carrying a rolling load. However, the bearing it supports certainly does. Always ensure the bearing located by the FRM110/13 is properly lubricated according to its own specifications. As for the ring's maintenance, it’s mostly about keeping it clean and free from corrosion. A quick visual inspection during bearing maintenance to ensure it's still securely seated and undamaged is usually all that’s needed. Simplicity at its best!
Mounting and dismounting
Installing a new FAG FRM110/13 Locating Ring is typically a straightforward process, but precision is key. First, ensure both the housing bore and the ring itself are perfectly clean and free from burrs. The ring usually has a snug fit into a groove in the housing bore. When mounting, gently push or tap the ring into place, ensuring it sits flush and perfectly concentric. A rubber mallet can be useful here to avoid damage. For dismounting, careful application of force, possibly with specialized tools, will be needed to prevent damage to the housing or the ring itself, especially if it's being reused. Always consult detailed technical drawings specific to your machine for precise instructions, as a little care goes a long way in preventing headaches down the line. Remember, proper installation is half the battle won!
