Ball bearings - Bearings and bearings housing FAG
Ball bearings consist of an inner and an outer ring with a row of balls positioned between them. The balls are usually held in place by a cage, which ensures correct spacing and prevents contact between the balls. There are also full complement designs without a cage, allowing for more balls to be used and thus increasing load capacity. Ball bearings can accommodate radial, axial, or combined loads, depending on the application. They are suitable for higher speeds compared to roller bearings but have a lower load-carrying capacity. Versions are available with and without seals. Sealed bearings provide protection against contamination and require minimal maintenance, while open types allow for more flexible lubrication under specific operating conditions.
The FAG brand started in 1883 with the invention of Friedrich Fischer (Kugelfischer). He invented a ball mill in Schweinfurt - Germany, which made it possible for the first time to produce absolutely round balls. This invention makes the FAG brand a pioneer in rolling bearing technology. Today, FAG is synonymous with quality and is one of the leading bearing brands in mechanical engineering, automotive, aviation, as well as in the production of bearings for wind generators. Since 2001, FAG has been part of the SCHAEFFLER Group company.Together with the complementary product nomenclature of INA, SCHAEFFLER has one of the broadest product portfolios in the industry, which includes rolling and plain bearings, bearing housings, linear guide systems, as well as solutions for monitoring, greasing, assembly and disassembly of bearings.
