Overview
FAG is the older of the two German bearing names now inside the Schaeffler group, the other being INA. It is heavily specified in European machinery, in electric motors and in heavy plant.
Petrofab holds FAG in Doha and quotes the rest of the FAG catalogue through its supplier base.
What we supply
Deep groove ball, angular contact, four point contact, self aligning, cylindrical roller, spherical roller, taper roller, thrust and bearing units, in metric and imperial sizes.

And many more. The FAG catalogue runs to thousands of part numbers and we supply and quote across all of them.
Reading a FAG number
FAG codes the seal, the cage and the clearance separately, usually with a full stop between them. These are the codes on the FAG bearings we hold.
| Code | What it means |
| 2RSR | Seals on both sides |
| 2ZR | Shields on both sides |
| C3 | Internal clearance greater than normal |
| TVH | Glass fibre reinforced polyamide cage, ball guided |
| MPA | Machined brass cage |
| QJ | Four point contact ball bearing, which takes axial load in both directions in a single row |
| N2 | Two locating slots in the outer ring |
A bearing usually has an equivalent under another brand, and the letters are where the two differ. Send whichever number is in front of you and we will identify what fits.
Ordering
Send us the FAG number with the quantity. If the marking has worn off, send the bore, the outside diameter and the width, and tell us what it runs in and how hard it works. We will identify the equivalent and quote it. Quantities and delivery are confirmed on the quotation.
