FAG BEARINGS
FAG Bearings, a brand with origins tracing back to 1883 in Schweinfurt, Germany, is a manufacturer of rolling bearings for industrial applications. The product line includes angular contact ball bearings, cylindrical roller bearings, self-aligning ball bearings, and other precision bearing types. FAG bearings are used in rotating equipment where load capacity, speed rating, and dimensional accuracy are specified. The brand is known for its metric-system bearings, with common precision grades including ABEC 3 and ABEC 5, and cage materials such as steel and polyamide (TVH). Seal and shield options include open, double-sealed (2RS), and double-shielded (2Z) configurations. Contact angles for angular contact bearings are typically 30° or 40°, and duplex mounting arrangements (tandem, back-to-back, face-to-face) are available for matched bearing sets. Cylindrical roller bearings in the NU design accommodate axial displacement and are often supplied with C3 internal clearance for applications with thermal expansion. 3G Electric stocks a range of FAG bearings, including double-row angular contact series (e.g., 3306, 3207) and single-row high-precision matched bearings (e.g., 7210, 7317). The inventory covers bore sizes from 17 mm to 85 mm and outer diameters up to 180 mm. 3G Electric provides logistics support for global shipment, enabling procurement specialists and plant engineers to source FAG bearings for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) or new equipment builds. The catalog includes both single bearings and matched duplex sets, with options for open or sealed variants. Technical specifications such as bearing industry numbers, manufacturer part numbers, and system of measurement are listed for each SKU to facilitate cross-referencing with existing equipment. FAG bearings are applied in electric motors, pumps, gearboxes, compressors, and machine tool spindles, where precise radial and axial load handling is required. The brand's long history in bearing manufacturing means its products are widely specified in industrial machinery globally. 3G Electric's offering supports engineers who need to replace or specify bearings with known performance characteristics, without reliance on marketing claims.
