FAG Generation C deep-groove ball bearings feature optimized ball and raceway surfaces and improved osculation between the rolling elements and the raceways that are said to cut noise by 50% and provide 35% less friction.
Composite metal-polymer bearing retainers made from silver-coated polyamide-imide feature precision machining to keep tolerances on cage diameter, ball-pocket location, and piloting-land interface under 0.002 in.
