FAG Thrust Ball Bearings Product Introduction

FAG thrust ball bearings are carefully crafted "mechanical aces"! They're specifically designed to handle one-way axial loads, running at high speeds with minimal friction. You'll find them in places where space is tight and load-bearing capacity matters a lot, like in automotive transmissions, industrial gearboxes, and heavy machinery.

Core Features and Advantages

Exceptional Load-Bearing Capacity

Thanks to the optimized design, these bearings can firmly "withstand" even extremely large axial pressures, offering rock-solid reliability.

Ultra-Smooth with Low Friction

The balls and raceways are ground with high precision. This means they consume very little energy and hardly generate any heat during operation.

Sturdy and Durable

Made from high-grade steel or ceramic materials, their service life is much longer than ordinary bearings.

Highly Adaptable

Available in both single-direction and double-direction types, they can fit into all kinds of different applications.

Easy Installation

Whether you're mounting them in bearing housings or on shafts, the installation process is a breeze.

Application Scenarios

FAG thrust ball bearings are a great fit for these areas:

Automotive Field: Clutch release mechanisms, steering systems.
Industrial Production: Pumps, compressors, machine tools.
Aerospace: Actuators, control systems.
Energy Sector: Wind turbine pitch controls, hydraulic systems.

Why Choose FAG?

As a brand under the Schaeffler Group, FAG combines top-notch German engineering with advanced manufacturing techniques. Every single bearing goes through strict quality tests, so you can count on them even in the toughest conditions!

Technical Parameters

FAG thrust ball bearings are divided into two types: single-direction (511, 512, 513, 514 series) and double-direction (522, 523, 524 series). Here are the main specifications:

Bore Diameter:	Ranging from 10 mm to 300 mm, they can match shafts of various thicknesses.
Outer Diameter:	Sizes vary from 24 mm to 380 mm, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of housing designs.
Dynamic Load Rating:	It can reach up to 350 kN, showing remarkable load-bearing capacity.
Static Load Rating:	The maximum is 600 kN, providing great stability when stationary or moving at low speeds.
Speed Limit:	Depending on the lubrication method and cage design, the maximum speed can reach 5,000 rpm with grease lubrication or 7,500 rpm with oil lubrication.
Cage Options:	Cages made of steel, brass, or polymer materials are available, which are more durable and reduce friction.
Precision Standards:	Manufactured in accordance with ISO (P0, P6) or ABEC (ABEC - 1, ABEC - 3) standards, they are perfect for applications that demand high precision.
Materials and Lubrication
Rings and Balls:	Usually made of high-carbon chromium steel (GCr15), they have excellent wear resistance. You can also choose ceramic (Si3N4) balls for corrosion resistance and electrical insulation.
Lubrication Methods:	Both grease and oil lubrication work. The unique FAG Arcanol coating ensures the bearings perform well even in extreme temperatures.
