Wheel bearings of the 1st Generation are compact bearing units, manufactured with a defined and preset bearing clearance, for-life lubrication (no maintenance) and sealing. First generation wheel bearings are used on many applications due to their compact and rugged design, featuring lifetime sealing and lubrication. Schaeffler (formally FAG) has developed angular contact ball bearings for both front and rear wheels, ensuring optimum performance in the most demanding situations.
