Our comprehensive range of INA and FAG products for hydraulic systems and fluid pumps is consolidated in the Fluid Technology sector. Bearings and components for these demanding applications must be extremely reliable and efficient.

A reduction in weight of around ten percent and a significantly simplified mounting procedure compared with conventional radial splines - these are the most important advantages of the new FAG wheel bearing concept that is preloaded by means of axial splines in the axle journal. The use of the orbitally formed shoulder as a carrier for a clearance-free axial gear teeth enables this wheel bearing module to be produced very economically.

50 percent less noise and 35 percent less friction – FAG’s Generation C is setting new standards in deep groove ball bearings. The significant performance increase offered by this bearing type is primarily attributable to optimized osculation between the rolling elements and ring raceways. Other improvements include more effective seals and a riveted steel cage. Altogether the design modifications result in higher efficiency as well as higher achievable speeds and reduced noise. Customers benefit from considerable increases in bearing life and performance while enjoying a noticeable reduction in energy consumption at the same time. The new deep groove ball bearing reflects FAG’s 125 years of expertise and innovation leadership in ball bearings that started with the invention of the ball grinding machine by Friedrich Fischer in 1883.

This catalog presents the product range of FAG Super Precision Bearings for main spindles. It is further designed as a technical compendium for the selection and design of bearing arrangements utilizing high precision bearings.

Schaeffler Group Industrial, with its brands INA and FAG, is presenting innovative bearing solutions for industrial gearboxes and construction machinery at this year’s “Motion Engineering” exhibition in Chiba, Japan (April 14-16, 2008). Special focus has been placed on planetary gearboxes which provide maximum performance in a minimum of space, bearing supports offering highest speeds and acceleration for vibratory equipment as well as maintenance-free ELGES plain bearings and spherical plain bearings.
