is a German INA bearing company under the Schaeffler Group, founded in 1946 and headquartered in Nuremberg, Germany. Since its establishment, the German INA Bearing Company has been committed to product innovation to meet customer needs and provide high-quality guarantees, making it the world's leading supplier of rolling bearings and a recognized partner of automobile manufacturers.

At present, INA Bearing Company has more than 30 production plants and more than 30,000 employees. It has developed a wide range of products: coal grading crushers, rolling bearings, sliding bearings, linear guide systems, high-precision products, and engine parts. The industries involved in INA bearing products include: machinery industry, construction industry, hydraulic and wind engineering industry, machine tool and manufacturing machinery industry, material handling and packaging industry, power tool industry, gearbox industry, semiconductor industry, pump and fan industry, industrial robots And automation industry, rubber, plastic and chemical industry, textile industry, tractor industry, etc. INA Bearings (Ina) is an international group company headquartered near Nuremberg, Germany, founded in 1946. Since its establishment, the company has become a world leader in the field of needle roller bearings, and soon expanded from the original needle roller bearing field to a wide range of products.

FAG

Since Mr. Fischer of Germany invented the ball mill for grinding steel balls in 1883 and founded the FAG company, with the birth and development of the rolling bearing industry, FAG bearing products have been fully certified in almost all possible fields and have been playing Plays a very important role.

The following only lists the main application areas of some of its products: aerospace engineering, metal cutting machine tools, steel processing equipment, converters, casting equipment, rolling mills, mechanical transmission equipment, paper machinery, cement machinery, mills, mining machinery, engineering machinery and vibration Machinery, environmental protection equipment, wind power generation equipment, ships, antennas and radars, textile machinery, packaging machinery, etc.

The history of FAG

is the world's first rolling bearing manufacturer and a pioneer in the rolling bearing industry.

Friedrich Fischer (1849-1899)

The founder of the company is also the inventor of the modern production process of precision steel balls. His revolutionary invention is the beginning of the history of the global rolling bearing industry

FAG FAG origin, application scope, service and technical support

FAG origin

FAG brand is also inspired by a genius. As early as 1883, in Schweinfurt, Germany, Friedrich Fischer designed a special steel ball grinder, which made it possible for the first time to produce a completely spherical steel ball using a grinding process. This invention is considered to be the cornerstone of the rolling bearing industry. This is why FAG has become one of the leading brands in machinery manufacturing, automobile industry and aerospace technology. In the world's major industrial countries, there are FAG companies, branches and sales agents.

Since 2001, FAG has become a part of the Schaeffler Group and has played an active and important role in the group’s aerospace, automotive and industrial fields. Combining INA products, FAG has the most complete product outline in the same industry in the rolling bearing industry. Covers production machinery, power transmission and railways. All applications in the heavy industry and consumer goods industry.

FAG produces all kinds of ball bearings and roller bearings with outer diameters from 3 mm to 4.25 meters, including standard products based on samples and non-standard products based on special requirements of users. FAG and INA jointly provide customers with a series of comprehensive and complete services and technical support, including: bearing and bearing system testing, maintenance, assembly and disassembly. As a forward-looking company, FAG has also invested a lot of money in research and development. Modern simulation technology, testing equipment and special material laboratories provide reliable support for the continuous development and improvement of each production line, and at the same time provide a guarantee for maintaining FAG's strong innovation capabilities.

Combined with INA products, FAG has the most complete product outline in the same industry in the rolling bearing industry. Covers all applications in production machinery, power transmission and railways, heavy industry, and consumer goods industries.

LUK

As a brand under the Schaeffler Group, LuK was established in 1965 in Buehl, Germany. It is a professional clutch manufacturer. Initially, the company's goal was only to produce diaphragm spring clutches for Volkswagen's beetle follow-up models. Today, one out of every four cars in the world uses a LuK clutch.

As a technology leader in the field of transmission systems, LuK has many epoch-making innovations that are worth remembering. Among them, the use of dual mass flywheel (DMF) sets a new standard for the reduction of vibration and noise of the transmission system. Unlike the rigid flywheel installed between the engine and the transmission in the traditional system, the flywheel of the new system is divided into two. The first mass on the engine side and the second mass on the transmission side are separated and connected to each other through a spring damping system, so the arc spring is the core component of the dual-mass flywheel. With the overall vibration reduction system, the dual-mass flywheel can almost completely absorb the torsional vibration caused by the rotational inertia of the engine, prevent the transmission components from colliding with each other, play an excellent vibration reduction effect, and greatly improve driving comfort.

LuK has developed and designed a new generation of continuously variable transmission system, which can transmit a maximum torque of up to 600Nm, which not only meets the needs of cars, but also can be used for heavy vehicles. In addition to the transmission of high torque, the LuK continuously variable transmission system is also quite effective in reducing fuel consumption and improving driving performance.

In addition, LuK products also involve hydraulic torque converters, lock-up clutches, turbine torque shock absorbers, built-in crankshaft torsion shock absorbers, balance shaft shock absorbers and belt drive starter motors.
