FAG’s Axial-Super Precision Bearing (ASP bearing) is a high-precision bearing that is particularly suitable for applications that require high precision and high-speed performance.
Features and Applications
FAG’s ASP bearings have the following features: High Precision: These bearings can provide extremely high geometric and rotational accuracy, ensuring stability and accuracy at high speeds. High-Speed Performance: ASP bearings are designed for high-speed rotation, which can reduce friction and heat generation, and improve overall performance and efficiency. High Rigidity and Anti-Seismic Performance: The bearings use high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing processes to ensure stable performance under high loads and are suitable for various dynamic loads and vibration environments. FAG’s ASP bearings have significant advantages in performance: High Precision: The precise control of contact angles and ball sizes ensures extremely high geometric and rotational accuracy. High-Speed Performance: The optimized rolling element and cage structure reduce friction and heat generation, and improve the performance of the bearing at high speeds. High rigidity and shock resistance: The use of high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing processes ensures that the bearings can maintain stable performance under high load and vibration environments.
As the pinnacle of Schaeffler Group’s thrust bearing technology, FAG Axial-Super Precision Bearings redefine load handling in applications demanding sub-micron axial runout, extreme rigidity, and thermal stability. Designed to exceed ABEC 9 (ISO P2) tolerances, these bearings enable breakthrough precision in wafer steppers, optical grinding machines, and aerospace guidance systems where axial error margins measure in nanometers.
