Which is better bearing brand?

Which is better bearing brand?

Which is better bearing brand?

(OP)
Do you guys has experience which of the following brand has the best quality?

FAK, LUK, ELGES, EZO

Or you have something to recommend me? thanks

RE: Which is better bearing brand?

LUK dont make bearings, they make automotive driveline parts.

INA are FAG's (not FAK) sister company and also make bearings. Also look into SKF.

I can't advise you because of who I work for, it would be unfair, but I hope the name corrections help your search somewhat.

If by quality you mean "lifespan", SKF and I think INA/FAG have a bearing calculator on their websites which given some parameters will recomend bearings based on size, speed, lifespan etc.

RE: Which is better bearing brand?

INA/FAG are some of the high performance bearings available on the market.  Their competition includes Timken, Koyo, NSK and SKF.

RE: Which is better bearing brand?

I agree with Cory. I have good experiences with all of those manufacturers.
Be sure that you buy directly from them. Some time ago SKF announced that on the market were bearings visually identical with their products (including marking and packaging), supposedly manufactured in China; they were very poor quality.

RE: Which is better bearing brand?

Peter,

In your area of Europe, INA/FAG are likely to be the best quality bearings that are widely available.

RE: Which is better bearing brand?


SKF is very widely available as well in europe.. they can easily be purchased in small quantities from specialised shops...No experience with their lifespan / lifespan prediction correlation...
