FAG Bearings
FAG — the company that started modern ball bearing manufacturing in 1883. Schaeffler Group bearings supplier.
FAG, founded in 1883 in Schweinfurt by Friedrich Fischer, is the brand that effectively started the modern ball bearing industry — Fischer invented the first machine capable of grinding steel balls into perfect spheres. Acquired by Schaeffler Group in 2001, FAG remains a global benchmark for deep groove ball bearings, automotive wheel hub units, large-bore spherical roller bearings, and precision angular contact bearings. Kovar stocks the full FAG range — 6000/6200/6300/6400 deep groove, 7000 angular contact, 22000/23000 spherical roller, NU/N/NJ cylindrical roller, wheel hub assemblies — with B2B quoting, tax invoicing and same-day shipping for in-stock part numbers.

FAG FAQ
Where is FAG based?
FAG is headquartered in Schweinfurt, Germany. It originated from Friedrich Fischer AG, founded in 1883 by the inventor of the first ball-grinding machine — the foundation of modern ball bearing manufacturing. FAG joined the Schaeffler Group in 2001.
What is FAG known for?
Deep groove ball bearings (6000/6200/6300/6400), automotive wheel hub units, spherical roller bearings (22000/23000), and precision angular contact bearings (7000). FAG remains a primary OEM supplier across the European automotive industry.
Are FAG bearings inspected?
Kovar sources FAG only through Schaeffler supply channels and inspects every intake (printing, laser etching, dimensional check). A Letter of Authenticity is available on request, and any suspicious lot is rejected immediately.
How fast is FAG availability?
Common 6200/6300 part numbers ship same-day for orders before 15:00 KST. Less common references are sourced from Schaeffler's European hub via air or sea freight, with timing confirmed on the quote.
