Introduction to FAG Bearings

FAG, a premium brand within the Schaeffler Group, represents German engineering excellence in rolling bearing technology. With over 130 years of innovation, FAG offers one of the most comprehensive bearing portfolios in the industry. This guide explores FAG’s extensive product range, highlighting their specialized bearing solutions and unique technological advantages.

FAG Ball Bearings: Versatile Rotation Solutions

FAG Ball Bearings form the foundation of countless mechanical systems across industries:

Deep Groove Ball Bearings: The most widely used type, suitable for radial and axial loads in both directions. FAG’s version features optimized raceway geometry for reduced friction and noise.

Angular Contact Ball Bearings: Designed to handle combined radial and axial loads simultaneously, these are essential for machine tool spindles, pumps, and high-speed applications.

Self-Aligning Ball Bearings: With their spherical outer ring, these automatically compensate for shaft misalignment and housing deflections, ideal for agricultural machinery and conveyor systems.

Four-Point Contact Ball Bearings: A space-saving design that handles axial loads in both directions as well as radial loads, commonly used in slewing rings and turntable applications.

Insert Ball Bearings and Belt Tension Pulleys: Complete bearing units with spherical outer surfaces for self-alignment, widely used in electric motors and textile machinery.

FAG Roller Bearings: Heavy-Duty Performance

FAG Roller Bearings deliver superior load capacity for the most demanding applications:

Spherical Roller Bearings: The ultimate solution for heavy radial loads and moderate axial loads in both directions, featuring self-alignment capability for misalignment compensation.

Tapered Roller Bearings: Engineered to handle combined radial and axial loads, these are fundamental components in automotive wheel hubs and gearboxes.

Cylindrical Roller Bearings: Offer the highest radial load capacity among roller bearings, with variants suitable for high-speed operations in industrial machinery.

Needle Roller Bearings: Provide exceptional load-carrying capacity in minimal radial space, perfect for automotive transmissions and compact machinery designs.

Barrel Roller Bearings: Combine the self-aligning capability of spherical rollers with enhanced load capacity, used in heavy industrial applications.

Precision Solutions for Specialized Applications

Super Precision Bearings

Radial Super Precision Bearings: Achieve unmatched running accuracy for machine tool spindles, measuring devices, and high-speed applications.

Axial-Super Precision Bearings: Deliver extreme axial stiffness and precision in thrust applications requiring micron-level accuracy.

Ball Bearings
‌FAG ball bearings ‌ are a well-known bearing brand under the German Schaeffler Group, known for its excellent quality, high-precision manufacturing standards and wide range of applications. FAG ball bearings mainly include the following categories: ‌ Deep groove ball bearings ‌: This type of bearing is designed with a continuous groove raceway, mainly bearing radial loads, and can also handle certain axial loads. It has a small friction coefficient, high speed, simple structure and low manufacturing cost, and is easy to achieve high precision. The commonly used cage is a stamped wave shape. For bearings with an inner diameter of more than 200mm or high-speed operation, a machined solid cage is used. ‌ ‌
