It focuses on the applica-tion of FAG AC/SP super precisionproducts and thus on the cus-tomer. This focus is built on economic efficiency reliability able to meet these claims re-quires continual contact with thecustomers, in order to learn abouttheir demands and processes. Thispermits the selection of the mostadequate product that will involvethe lowest system costs.

4 The solidbasic research of FAG, its participa-tion in university research projectsand its worldwide operation laythe foundations for the develop-ment of new, reliable products andtheir use in new and first glance, the accuracy ofbearings seems to be sufficientlydefined in DIN/ISO or ABEC stan-dards. Yet FAG super precisionbearings go beyond this. In addi-tion to demanding tolerances to P4or better, there are other perfor-mance features that are not cov-ered by these norms. FAG superprecision bearings set standardswherever there are extreme de-mands in terms of reliability, highrunning accuracy and/or highspeeds whether incorporated inmachine tools, auxiliary devices inthe textile industry, woodworkingmachines or elsewhere.

5 The com-prehensive product range permitsoptimum bearing arrangements forall types of locations and applica-tions. The performance of FAG su-per Precision bearings in a specificapplication is achieved in particu-lar through close co-operation withthe customer. The higher and morecomplex the demands, the betterthe super Precision bearing exper-tise will come to bear that has builtup in FAG application engineeringover the years. This catalogue pro-vides a survey of the products andthe most important rules for bear-ing selection and bearing arrange-ment design.

Thanks to the high perfor-mance standard of the existingproduct range, specific tailor-madesolutions are rarely required.

7 Thisis advantageous both in terms ofbearing availability and stock-keeping. In addition, special cus-tomer- or application-specificproducts are also developed when-ever X-life ultraThe FAG X-life ultra bearing repre-sents the top product among spin-dle bearings. In a virtually idealway, it combines ceramic materialand special rolling bearing steelwith FAG bearing and applicationexpertise to form a top-perfor-mance unit.
