The Schaeffler Group’s FAG and Barden brands stand for the development and manufacture of special bearings for aviation and aerospace applications. These bearings help ensure that commercial airplanes are one of the safest means of transportation. Nearly all modern airplanes use FAG’s bearing technology. FAG Aerospace also took part in the development of the bearings and other precision components used in the engine of the new wide-body A380 Airbus.
In addition, FAG is a development partner and supplier for leading manufacturers of helicopters worldwide. International space travel consortia rely on the quality, reliability and efficiency of our aerospace bearings, even under extreme conditions.
Schaeffler Group products used in the space shuttle and the European launch vehicle Ariane have proven to be reliable in space.
