An FAG base model is only the first identifier in a replacement check. Preserve the complete designation, including bore, clearance, design, and lubrication markings, then compare it with the selected bearing and actual machine duty.
Read the Complete Designation
Keep every letter, number, separator, and marking in the order shown on the
bearing or packaging. Do not translate one brand's suffix into another
brand's suffix without checking what the selected design actually includes.
Marking to capture
What it helps confirm
Complete FAG designation
Copy the model and all hyphenated suffix groups exactly; a shortened base number is not a replacement specification.
Design and bore markings
Retain E1, K, K30, and other design or tapered-bore markings in their original order.
Clearance and lubrication details
Capture C3, C4, groove or lubrication markings, and the machine's actual lubrication method.
Mounting and duty
Provide sleeve, fit, shoulder, load, speed, temperature, shock, contamination, and failure-history details.

Trademark and Review Boundary
TFL Bearing is an independent bearing supplier and sourcing/export partner.
It is not affiliated with or authorized by FAG. The FAG name is used
only to identify the buyer's existing product reference. A review identifies
candidate sourcing options; it is not approval based on a model number alone.
