FAG Bearings. We have approximately 20,000 different models in stock, with ample supply. Timely delivery.
FAG is one of the most renowned and historically long-standing brand names of rolling bearings worldwide, embodying high quality, high precision, high reliability and outstanding technology. It is now one of the core brands under the leading automotive and industrial product supplier Schaeffler Group (alongside INA and LUK).
The following is the key information about FAG bearings:
Long history and technological pioneer:
The full name of FAG is Fischer Aktien-Gesellschaft, which was founded by Friedrich Fischer in Schwerin, Germany in 1883.
In 1883, Fischer invented a machine for grinding steel balls. This was a groundbreaking breakthrough in the history of bearing manufacturing, laying the foundation for the modern precision rolling bearing industry. Before that, steel balls were all forged, with very poor precision.
In 1905, FAG produced the first ball bearing for automobiles in Germany.
This glorious history has endowed FAG with profound technical expertise and a position as an industry benchmark.
The product range is extremely extensive:
FAG offers a complete series of rolling bearing products that cover almost all industrial fields, mainly including:
Ball bearings: Deep groove ball bearings, angular contact ball bearings, four-point contact ball bearings, self-aligning ball bearings, thrust ball bearings, etc. Among them, angular contact ball bearings (especially the high-precision products used in machine tool spindles) are their strong point.
Roller Bearings: Cylindrical roller bearings, conical roller bearings, self-aligning roller bearings, needle roller bearings, thrust roller bearings (cylindrical, conical, self-aligning), etc. Conical roller bearings are widely used and well-known in automotive and industrial gearboxes.
Special application bearings: Such as cylindrical roller bearings used in the axle boxes of railway vehicles, main shaft bearings and gearbox bearings used in large wind turbines, large rolling mill bearings used in rolling mills, ship bearings used for propellers, and special bearings used in the aerospace field, etc.
Bearings unit: Such as sleeve-type outer spherical ball bearings, etc., are easy to install.
Linear motion products: Linear guides, ball screws, etc. (Although there are fewer of these under the FAG brand, Schaeffler Group does provide them.)
Related products: such as bearing housings, seals, lubrication systems, condition monitoring systems, etc.
Core Technologies and Advantages:
Outstanding materials science: Utilizing high-quality vacuum degassed bearing steel and special materials (such as those suitable for high-temperature and corrosive environments), to ensure the strength, toughness and long lifespan of the bearings.
Precise design and calculation: Utilizing advanced simulation technologies and design software, the internal geometric structure of the bearing (such as raceways, rolling elements' shapes, contact angles) is optimized to achieve the best load distribution, low friction, low noise and long lifespan.
Advanced manufacturing techniques: Possessing world-leading precision machining, heat treatment (such as bainite quenching), grinding and ultra-finishing technologies, ensuring that the bearing size accuracy, rotational accuracy and surface finish reach extremely high standards.
Strict quality control: A rigorous quality inspection system that runs throughout the entire production process.
Innovative technologies: For instance, the X-life series bearings represent the highest technical level of FAG. Compared to the standard design, they have significant improvements in terms of rated life, load-bearing capacity, operational accuracy, friction performance or speed performance.
Sealing and Lubrication Technology: Offers a variety of optimized sealing solutions and lubrication schemes (including lifetime lubrication bearings), suitable for different working conditions and environments.
Main application fields:
Due to its reliability and high performance, FAG bearings are widely used in critical fields where high standards are required for bearings:
Automotive industry: Engines (tensioner pulleys, idler wheels, turbochargers), gearboxes, axles, wheels, steering systems, electric motors (for new energy vehicles).
Industrial transmission: Gearboxes, motors, pumps, fans, compressors.
Machine tool industry: Spindles (especially high-precision and high-speed spindles), ball screw supports.
Wind power industry: Main shaft bearings, gearbox bearings, generator bearings, yaw and pitch control bearings (large rotating supports).
Railway transportation: Axle box bearings for locomotives, passenger cars, and freight cars; traction motor bearings; gear box bearings.
Construction machinery: Heavy-duty parts of excavators, cranes, and mining machinery.
Agricultural machinery
Steel Metallurgy: Rolling Machine Equipment.
Aerospace: Engines, auxiliary systems, etc. (for special applications).
Summary:
FAG bearings are synonymous with high quality, high performance and high reliability. It boasts a rich historical foundation, top-notch technical strength, a comprehensive product line and strict quality standards. In critical applications where bearings need to withstand high loads, high speeds, high precision or extreme environments, FAG is often one of the preferred brands. Choosing FAG usually means opting for a longer service life, lower maintenance costs, higher equipment efficiency and operational reliability.
