Product catalog summary
Overview
The document discusses the benefits and technical superiority of FAG Generation C Deep Groove Ball Bearings, particularly in enhancing the efficiency of electric motors. These bearings are designed to reduce friction and noise, thereby improving motor performance and energy efficiency.

Key Specifications and Advantages
  • Friction and Noise Reduction: The bearings offer 35% less friction and 50% less noise compared to previous designs, contributing to lower energy consumption and quieter operation.
  • Advanced Seal and Cage Design: Features new HRS lip seals made from nitrile butadiene rubber, reducing frictional torque and heat generation. The riveted steel cage provides higher stability and less noise, suitable for higher speeds and less sensitive to shocks.
  • Optimized Raceway and Surface Coatings: Improved raceway surfaces and optimized osculation reduce friction. Surface coatings like Corrotect® and Triondur® (DLC) protect against corrosion and wear.
  • Special Lubricating Greases: Long grease operating life with effective lifetime lubrication and anti-wear protection, verified in FE8 and FE9 tests.
  • Hybrid Bearings Option: Available with steel rings and ceramic balls for effective current insulation and higher limiting speed.

Efficiency Improvements
The design enhancements significantly reduce power loss in bearings, increasing the efficiency of small electric motors. This results in economic and ecological benefits for manufacturers and operators.

Increasing Efficiency Frictional torque Generation C Deep Groove Ball Bearings are Extremely Low Friction ... Previous design The efficiency of small electric motors with a low capacity is for the most part determined by the power loss of the bearings. The new design and high-quality components considerably reduce the friction in the bearing. As a result, the efficiency increases significantly. This also reduces energy consumption, which in the end yields economical and ecological advantages for motor manufacturers, plant operators as well as for the environment. Cut energy consumption with FAG...

... and Very Quiet and Cut the Energy Consumption of Electric Motors Previous design Noise behavior has always been the major quality feature in the electric motor industry. The deep groove ball bearing is the machine element that separates static components from rotating components and therefore inevitably causes vibration and noise. With our new design, we and our customers are on our way to meeting future environmental requirements. Cut noise levels with FAG Generation C deep groove ball bearings
