The Beginning of FAG
Fischer
Aktien
Gesellschaft
The first ever steel ball grinding
machine invented by a German
engineer in 1883.
History of FAG
FAG Kugelfischer Georg Schäfer AG

is the oldest ball bearing manufacturer in the world,
the pioneer of the rolling bearing industry.
Friedrich Fischer Georg Schäfer

(1849-1899) (1861-1925)
Company founder and inventor of Took over the „Erste

the ball grinding process which Automatische
permitted series production of Gußstahlkugelfabrik, vormals
high-precision, hardened steel Friedrich Fischer, AG“
balls of uniform size. 10 years after the death of
His revolutionary invention was Friedrich Fischer.
the historical beginning of the Ball mill designed by With great personal dedication
rolling bearing industry worldwide. Friedrich Fischer in 1883. he created an internationally
renowned industrial enterprise.

Railway & Transport
For more than 100 years, FAG has been

contributing to the continuous performance
improvement of rolling bearings for rail vehicle
applications.
As early as in the 1920s, speed records were
being set with FAG axlebox bearings. High-speed
trains fitted with FAG bearings were achieving
speeds of more than 200 km/h.
In addition, the development of the polyamide
cages as standard in the axlebox bearing
arrangements used by the German Federal
Railways Deutsche Bahn AG is closely associated
with the name FAG

(1908 – 1981) (1917 – 1996)
In 1946, brothers Wilhelm and Georg Schaeffler,

both holders of PhD degrees, founded Industrie

Contact Angle
Contact Angle α = 40°
The axial load carrying capacity is dependent on the contact angle; i.e. the larger
the angle, the higher the load to which the bearing be subjected. Due to the
contact angle of 40°these bearings can support high axial loads.

ΔD
1. Expansion and contraction of
the inner and outer ring due to
tight fits.
Δd 2. Thermal expansion from heat
generated during operation, but
the key value is the temperature
difference between the inner
and outer ring, not how high the
ΔST temperature.

Clearance
The radial internal clearance applies to bearings with an inner
ring before the bearing is fitted. It is defined as the amount by
which the inner ring can be moved in a radial direction from
one extrem position in relation to the outer ring

n It separates the rolling elements from each other
n It maintains the rolling elements at the same distance from each other
n In bearings where the parts can be separated or swivelled out in

Rolling bearing designations
What is the reason for rolling bearing designations
?
If you know the designation, you can save time and money!
Example:
You order a replacement bearing and do not state the correct
designation.
You then receive a bearing of the wrong dimensions and/or the

wrong design.
Result:
You cannot repair your machine
Your production is at a standstill
You have unnnecessary extra work and spend additional wasted
time ordering the correct rolling bearing

NU2314-E
NU = Cylindrical roller bearing
2 = Width series 2
14 = 14 x 5 = 70 mm bore
Shaft and Housing Tolerances
One bearing has 2 rings

inner and outer ring.
There are 2 load cases,
circumferential load and
point load.
See HR1 page 148
63
Schematic 1
Inner ring rotates

Outer ring stationary
Load direction constant
IR - Circumferential load
(tight fit necessary)
OR - Point load
(loose fit permissible)
Example:
Shaft weight
See HR1 page 148 Roll press

Schematic 2
Inner ring stationary

Outer ring rotates
Load direction constant
IR - Point load
OR - Circumferential load
Example
See HR1 page 148 Car hub bearing
64
Schematic 3
Inner ring rotates

Outer ring stationary
Load direction rotates
IR - Point load
OR - Circumferential load
Example
Centrifuges
See HR1 page 148
Vibrating screens

Schematic 4

From HR1 page 155 …
The shaft fit 60 k6, shaft tolerance is +2 / +21 i.e. 60.002 – 60.021 mm

Bearing Arrangement
There are 2 types of common bearing arrangements …
1. Locating / Non-locating bearing arrangement

(Locating / Floating bearing arrangement)
(Fixed / Float bearing arrangement)
2. Adjusted bearing arrangement
See HR1 page 140

Introduction to bearings – Rolling bearings

Rolling bearing Plain bearing

Steel backing with sliding surface:

Balls Cylindrical Tapered

Symmetrical Asymmetrical Needle

Radial bearings – load direction Nominal contact angle α0 ≤ 45°

a0 = 0° a0 ≤ 45° a0 = 0° a0 ≤ 45° a0 ≤ 45°

Axial bearings – load direction

a0 = 90° a0 = 90° a0 > 45°
