FAG Bearings

History of FAG Bearings

FAG bearings company was born when German inventor Friedrich Fischer created the ball grinding mill in 1883 and founded the company. This was a machine that allows steel balls to be ground to a perfect sphere.

When the company started operations, it did so in the world's first rolling bearing production plant. Altogether, this gave Mr. Fischer the title of “the father of the modern ball bearing” and FAG the recognition as the pioneering company in rolling bearing technology.

In 2001, FAG was taken by the Schaeffler Group, thus becoming an essential brand for the group’s presence in the aerospace, automotive and industrial markets.

Where FAG Bearings are Made

FAG bearings were first made in a plant near the train station in Schweinfurt, Mr. Fischer’s hometown. However, since becoming a brand of the Schaeffler Group, FAG bearings are made in different locations around the world. Locations include Europe, Asia, Brazil, USA and Canada.

FAG bearings are meticulously crafted in state-of-the-art manufacturing plants, adhering to stringent quality standards.

Types of FAG Bearings

With applications in the aerospace, automotive, and industrial sectors, FAG bearings have been developed in different types to cover every need. Here is a list of some bearings fabricated by FAG:
