FAG. Producing perfection since 1883.

FAG

History

In 1883, Friedrich Fischer invented the first machine capable of mass producing perfectly round steel balls in high volumes. The ‘Kugelmuhle’ is now considered to mark the birth of the rolling bearing industry, which spread around the globe with great success from its humble beginnings in Schweinfurt.

Today, FAG continues to be a bearing innovator, and is a technical partner of the leading vehicle manufacturers, supplying advanced wheel bearings and hub units for original fitment in factories around the world. As a safety critical component, there are good reasons why FAG bearings are trusted for OE installation. One such reason is our innovative Low Friction Torque (LFT) sealing technology that reduces bearing friction by 30%, ultimately cutting CO 2 emissions and fuel consumption by over 1%. Cheaper bearings might not include patented technologies and may also not have been engineered or tested to conform to the many rigorous standards that FAG has to meet as an OE supplier. As Schaeffler’s ‘Chassis Expert’, FAG also provides a range of high precision components to the automotive aftermarket, all in legendary Schaeffler quality.

FAG (Fischers Aktiengesellschaft) has been a registered trademark since 1905 and, together with the LuK and INA brands, has been an essential component of the Schaeffler Group since its acquisition in 2001.

Rapid LCV hub repairs

The Mercedes-Benz Vito, Viano, Sprinter and VW Crafter, along with many other models, are factory fitted with wheel bearings permanently installed in the knuckle joint. Fitting a new knuckle assembly is not only an expensive repair in replacement components and labour, but costly for your customer in terms of vehicle downtime. The FAG LCV wheel bearing repair solution reduces labour time to the extent that you can replace 2 worn bearings in the time it takes to fit one complete new knuckle, as by using an FAG repair kit and special tool, you no longer have to carry out the required wheel alignment. • No need to buy a complete knuckle and ABS sensor • No wheel alignment required • Up to 50% savings in parts & labour

Repair procedure with manufacturer’s kit

Repair procedure with the FAG LCV repair solution
