50 percent less noise

Cut noise levels with FAG Generation C deep groove ball bearings

The main requirements placed on modern deep groove ball bearings are optimum vibration behavior and low running noise without any limitations on speed, load carrying capacity and operating life. We analyzed the causes of noise using the most up-to-date testing methods. Our findings helped us to completely improve the internal design of the bearing and this is how the new Generation C of FAG deep groove ball bearings came into being.

35 percent less friction

Cut energy consumption with FAG Generation C deep groove ball bearings

Deep groove ball bearings are characterized by particularly low frictional torque and are also especially suitable for high speeds. By using improved manufacturing methods, we have improved the surfaces of raceways by making them “smoother” and have optimized the osculation, in order to lower the friction even further.
