X-Life

X-Life

X-life is the seal of quality for ultra-high performance products of the brands INA and FAG.

They are characterized by higher basic dynamic load ratings compared to conventional products, resulting in a longer rating life and operating life. If the load and design envelope are unchanged, X-life bearings have a longer rating life. In this case, longer intervals are possible between maintenance operations. Conversely, an X-life bearing with the same design envelope 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, optimization of the design envelope and a reduction in design mass. Higher performance is achieved through the use of state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques as well as improvements in internal design. These give better, more uniform surface quality and contact surfaces, leading to optimized load distribution in the bearing.
