SKF vs FAG
I thought I read recently that some of you have had issues with newer FAG bearings vs SKF - can you please comment? With that tip I tried to buy SKF's (which were made in Italy) from one of our favorite suppliers recently, but received - from their supplier - a chinese bearing in an SKF (made in Italy) box. Stuff happens, so no issues with one of our favorite suppliers . . . you know who you are - we thank you! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/pray.gif) I'll be attempting this replacement myself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) , so I don't want to do this again in 6 months, so should I insist on tracking down real SKF's? Are the older SKF's made in Germany and more reliable (and available from 'Teeners)? |

Thank you - notice the picture of the item is FAG with red seal. hmm ?? I never heard that only FAG had red seals, is that actually the case? Regardless, there is an opened Temkin box in the review picture. Maybe FAG makes bearings for Temkin or something? (I say this because the picture of the bering in the Temkin add - is a picture of a FAG bearing (engraving can read on the face)...[oh, that's probably what you meant]. . |
