Decoding FAG 22228-E1A-XL-2RSR-M
- 222Series
- Spherical roller bearings, 222 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 28Bore
- Bore 140 mm (28 × 5).
- E1A-XL-2RSR-MSuffix
- FAG suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
22228 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description
FAG 22228-E1A-XL-2RSR-M measures 140 mm across the bore and 250 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 68 mm (140 x 250 x 68 mm).

FAG spherical roller bearings are double-row, self-aligning units built to handle heavy radial loads together with axial loads in both directions, even when the shaft is misaligned. You will find them in conveyor belts, mills, pumps, and industrial fans, where shaft deflection or mounting inaccuracies are common. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line and provides technical guidance so you can match the right variant to your equipment.
Reading the designation helps you order precisely. Take a code like 22228 or 22232: the base number defines the size and dimension series. The E1A suffix points to an optimized roller and cage design. XL stands for the long-life version with improved surface treatment. 2RSR means double contact seals, and a final M indicates a solid brass cage. Each block tells you something about how the bearing will perform in service.
These bearings show up in tough spots: aggregate conveyors, cement mills, high-flow centrifugal pumps, induced draft fans, and paper machines. Their ability to tolerate angular misalignment makes them a good fit when the seat is not perfect or the shaft bends under load. You will also see them in mining, steelmaking, and waste treatment plants, wherever robustness and long service life matter.
Selection depends on radial and axial load, rotation speed, and the environment. A 2RSR variant keeps out dust and moisture but can lower the maximum speed; in a clean setting where higher speed is needed, an open execution may work better. The solid brass M cage suits high loads and temperatures. During mounting, check alignment and use the recommended fitting methods to avoid damaging the rings.
When replacing a bearing, brand-to-brand equivalences are common. What counts is the complete designation: series, sealing suffixes, cage, and tolerances. The base number alone is not enough. If you are unsure, send the code engraved on the bearing or the seat dimension, and we will help you identify the equivalent option. MR Industrial Accessories LLC works with leading brands and can guide you toward a reliable replacement.

Frequently asked questions
- FAG 22228-E1A-XL-2RSR-M bearing: what are its dimensions?
- FAG 22228-E1A-XL-2RSR-M measures 140 mm across the bore and 250 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 68 mm (140 x 250 x 68 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 22228.
- What does the 2RSR suffix mean on a FAG bearing?
- It indicates double contact sealing on both sides. This blocks dust, water, and contaminants, which is useful in dirty or humid conditions. Note that sealing can reduce the maximum permissible speed compared to an open bearing.
- How do I choose between an M brass cage and a steel cage?
- The solid brass cage (M) is intended for high loads, high temperatures, and moderate speeds because it resists wear well. A steel cage is lighter and more economical, suitable for standard applications. Your choice should reflect the load and temperature conditions of the equipment.
- Can I replace a bearing from another brand with a FAG one?
- Yes, provided the main dimensions and execution suffixes match. Do not rely only on the base number: check sealing, cage, and tolerances. Send us the complete code or the seat dimensions, and we will help you find the appropriate equivalence.
