Low noise

Cut noise with FAG Generation C deep groove ball bearings

Noisy bearings are bad news for electric motors. The same applies for all equipment and appliances in the home or in the office. This is because they are all subject to strict controls regarding noise, environmental protection and occupational safety.

Although the deep groove ball bearing is one of the quietest bearings available, it can still generate some noise since it transmits vibrations to its surroundings. The main requirements placed on modern deep groove ball bearings are therefore optimum vibration behavior and low running noise without any limitations on speed, load carrying capacity and operating life.

We analyzed the causes of noise using the most up-to-date testing methods. Our findings helped us completely to redesign the internal design of the bearing and this is how the new Generation C of FAG deep groove ball bearings came into being.
