Plain bushes - KVK - DEMAISI / KDIK - SKF - JUKO - Bearings and bearings housing FAG
Plain bearings (bushings) are simple, single-piece cylindrical elements without rolling components, operating through sliding contact where the shaft moves within the bore. They provide an economical and reliable solution that requires minimal installation space and is easy to mount. Compared to rolling bearings, bushings have lower speed and load-carrying capacity. Their main applications include rotary, oscillating, and linear movements. They are available in versions that require lubrication, as well as self-lubricating types with PTFE coating that operate without additional grease.
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.
