FARAX®-Bearing-7208

High-Speed Bearing and Lubricant Test Rig

FARAX®-Bearing-7208

High-Speed Bearing and Lubricant Test Rig

The FARAX®-Bearing-7208 is a highly versatile test rig for evaluating and comparing lubricants and bearings under controlled fatigue and friction conditions. Equipped with two test stations for 7208-sized bearings, the system allows simultaneous testing with different oils or lubricants.

Thanks to its modular concept, the rig accommodates a broad range of bearing types—from conical, spherical, and cylindrical roller bearings to angular contact and deep groove ball bearings—and covers a diameter range of 30 to 450 mm.

A powerful drive motor combined with hydraulic loading capabilities ensures highly dynamic test cycles that simulate real-world operating conditions for both industrial and automotive applications.

Applications & Test Types

The FARAX®-7208 enables in-depth testing of:

  • Fatigue life and wear behaviour of different lubricants

  • Friction performance of bearing assemblies

  • Temperature stability and thermal degradation

  • Comparison of oil formulations and additive packages

  • Bearing material and surface treatment studies

under high-speed, multi-load, and real-world operating conditions.

Features & Benefits

The system delivers precise and reproducible test results, supported by:

  • Tested bearing range: 30 – 450 mm

  • Speed: adjustable 3,000 to 18,900 rpm (depending on application)

  • Realization of pure axial, pure radial, or combined axial/radial loading

  • Load capacity: up to 100 kN hydraulic

  • Online torque measurement for continuous monitoring

  • Multiple lubrication options: oil immersion, oil spray, drip oils

Control & Data

FARAX®-Bearing-7208 comes with a fully integrated measurement and control system:

  • Real-time acquisition of torque, axial load, vibration, temperature

  • Customizable test programs

  • Intuitive software interface with live data visualization

  • Export of measurement data for in-depth analysis
