Humanoid robots are becoming more powerful, nimble, and agile. Electric motors instead of the previous hydraulic units increasingly operate in their arms and legs. That’s a clearly discernible trend in other industrial applications as well.

Perfectly shaped steel spheres as rolling elements in bearings exhibit variances only in the micrometer range: a manufacturing technology feat whose invention dates back 140 years in 2023.

With every additional level of automation, robots assume more of a key role in industrial settings. Like other industries, automotive manufacturers rely on automatic helpers in the transformation process more than ever before.

Fully automatic and highly efficient: That’s how warehouses have become critical hubs of resilient supply chains.

Farming feeds the world – and requires increasingly better and, above all, more efficient machines to do so.

8,000 times faster than 5G: From 2030 on, the 6G network is supposed to push open the gates to a new communications universe.

Downtimes are poison for business. The best strategy to prevent this is a smart early warning system. It’s called condition monitoring.

Cobots, the smaller siblings of gross-motor industrial robots, are making a name for themselves. The specialists at Schaeffler have found a way to make them perform faster and with greater precision.

More than a hundred years ago, the moving assembly line changed the manufacturing process: an awesome success story – and one that could soon be ending.

Schaeffler’s success story is closely linked to its own production landscapes. Without the equipment from its in-house mechanical engineering department, Schaeffler’s plants would stop operating.
