Not into thousands of individual designs of limited application, but into carefully-planned groups of bearings, each designed to serve a given industry — and serve it completely. The Engineering Catalog covers the Fafnir standard line — complete in range of types and sizes — which eliminates in nine cases out of ten the cost, delay and grief that goes with designing a special bearing. And Fafnir's specialized lines, proved in performance, provide bearings ready to go to work in specialized applications — and to deliver. Balance in Range of Products Fafnir production is not limited to a few types of bearings to the exclusion of others. Rather, the balanced line of Fafnir Ball Bearings includes every type and size of radial and thrust bearing, wide inner ring bearing and transmission unit to provide the most complete line in America. Manufacturers who standardize on Fafnirs for original equipment or replacement enjoy the benefits that come with meeting every ball bearing demand from a single source of supply.
