If You Want to Build the World's Best Machines, You don't Start with the Second-Best Parts.

Whatever your plans, FAG Generation C deep groove ball bearings always give you that all-important advantage. The improved design guarantees optimum results in a broad range of applications. Longer life, less noise, lower friction – whatever you need, FAG Generation C deep groove ball bearings deliver peak performance.

Less noise

Noise is significantly reduced, thanks to:

  • Improved ball quality
  • Optimized surfaces
  • Improved cage
  • Optimized raceway parameters (roundness, waviness, and surface roughness)
  • Tighter manufacturing tolerances
Low friction

Improved osculation and even lower friction, thanks to:

  • Optimization of roundness, waviness, surface roughness as well as the cage
  • An even smoother raceway, and
  • More precise manufacturing tolerances
More durable

Our bearings provide an absolutely tight seal, which means they run even longer and even more reliably, thanks to:

  • The innovative design of the Z-type dust shield that efficiently ensures that grease stays in and dust stays out
  • Even better sealing performance, thanks to available axial-contact HRS or ELS lip seals
  • High sealing efficiency without friction losses, thanks to the innovative labyrinth seal that is perfectly matched to the seal groove

Generation C – Virtually Tailored to Your Needs.

Generation C components can be combined together to create the perfect bearing that meets your specific requirements. Thanks to this modular concept, we can offer you even more customized solutions with unmatched values for the money.

Generation C components
Cages

Whether you need ruggedness or flexibility, we have the right cage for you. Our versatile bearings are available with riveted steel or polyamide cages. Both versions are especially quiet and suitable for very high speeds.

Greases

Regardless of what you ask of our ball bearings, our grease solutions help them work efficiently in all types of applications: from electric motors to white goods, tools, pumps, or compressors to motorcycles as well as in transmissions.

Seals

With available sealing options that range from a Z-type shield, a non-contacting BRS labyrinth seal, a contacting HRS labyrinth seal, or our patented ELS seal, we will find the best solution for your application.

Internal clearance

When it comes to radial clearance, you also have plenty of options – including CN, C2, C3, C4, CM, and others. And because our components are all perfectly matched to each other, your maintenance costs will be lower, too.

We Have the Right Bearing – for Whatever You Have in Mind.

FAG Rillenkugellager Generation C: Mehr Effizienz im Elektromotor

Greater Efficiency in Electric Motors

The FAG Generation C deep groove ball bearing is remarkably quiet and generates very low friction – which makes it perfect for use in an electric motor. Whether it’s inside a washing machine, a power tool, or a fan: Our new design minimizes frictional torque and maximizes efficiency – which saves energy and costs, and protects the environment.

FAG Rillenkugellager Generation C: Weltmeister im Leise-Langlauf

World Champions in Running Quietly

Customers prefer washing machines and dishwashers that run quietly and last a long time. The FAG Generation C deep groove ball bearing’s innovative design results in less noise and reduced vibrations.

Our Bearings: Your Workshop's Dust-Free Zone

FAG Generation C deep groove ball bearings offer excellent sealing performance with very low friction. Our specially adapted, patented lip seal makes them more effective under axial loads, while providing even greater protection from dust and moisture. The result: grease stays in and dust stays out – so your tools last longer.

FAG Rillenkugellager Generation C: Führende Hersteller vertrauen auf uns

Leading Manufacturers Rely on FAG Generation C

Thanks to our ELS contact seal, our FAG Generation C deep groove ball bearings not only keep out contaminants, they generate less friction than any competitor’s product. And they are fully adaptable for axial loads. In fact, a class-leading wheel bearing using the FAG Generation C deep groove ball bearing has been developed for two-wheelers. After extensively testing our innovative product, leading motorcycle manufacturers have ordered millions.
