Decoding FAG 22318-E1-XL-K-T41A
- 223Series
- Spherical roller bearings, 223 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 18Bore
- Bore 90 mm (18 × 5).
- E1-XL-K-T41ASuffix
- FAG suffix: identifies the variant, such as seals or shields, cage, internal clearance or other features.
22318 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description

This FAG spherical roller bearing is a self-aligning, double-row unit. The outer ring has a spherical raceway and the rollers are crowned. It handles radial and axial loads in both directions and tolerates angular misalignment between shaft and housing. It is a common choice where shaft deflection or mounting errors occur during normal operation.
The part number is built in blocks. The base number gives the size and dimension series. The E1 suffix denotes an optimized roller and cage design. XL identifies the long-life execution. K means a tapered bore. T41A refers to a specific thermal and clearance execution. So a code like 22312-E1-XL-K-T41A packs size, internal design and bore type into one string.
These bearings are found in conveyors, mills, mixers, slurry pumps, industrial fans and crushing equipment. They also appear in road machinery, cranes and transmission systems where the shaft runs under deflection. Because they are self-aligning, they absorb misalignments that other bearings cannot tolerate. That makes them common in aggregate, cement, food and water treatment plants.
Selection depends on radial and axial load, rotational speed and bore type. The K variant mounts on a tapered shaft, with an adapter sleeve or bushing, which simplifies internal clearance adjustment. Sealing and lubrication follow the environment: in dusty or wet areas, evaluate additional protection. Initial alignment and mounting clearance are key for the bearing to run within its parameters.
Equivalents vary by maker. Each manufacturer uses its own suffixes for design, cage, bore and heat treatment. The same size can carry different codes between brands, and they are not always interchangeable without checking tolerances and clearance. The safest approach is to request a quote with the complete code from the equipment or drawing. MR can advise on the correct designation.

Frequently asked questions
- FAG 22318-E1-XL-K-T41A bearing: what are its dimensions?
- FAG 22318-E1-XL-K-T41A measures 90 mm across the bore and 190 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 64 mm (90 x 190 x 64 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation 22318.
- What does the K suffix mean on a FAG bearing?
- K indicates a tapered bore. It mounts on a tapered shaft or with an adapter sleeve, allowing internal clearance to be adjusted during tightening. It is common when removable mounting or a more precise fit is needed.
- How do I know which spherical roller bearing code I need?
- Read the code engraved on the original bearing or on the equipment drawing. If it is not available, send the shaft and housing dimensions and the approximate load. With that data, an equivalent designation can be advised.
- Is this bearing suitable for axial loads?
- Yes, spherical roller bearings support radial and axial loads in both directions. Axial capacity depends on size and internal design. For applications with significant axial load, verify the ratio between radial and axial load before selecting.
