#Inside Schaeffler
“We’re showing a festival of innovations”
For Matthias Zink, the Schaeffler Kolloquium 2022 will be the most spectacular one to be held to date. An interview with the CEO Automotive Technologies about the highlights of the event.
Ghostbusters in freezing cold
Neutrinos are referred to as ghost particles. To track them down, ultrasensitive detectors are set up in extreme locations – for instance in the Antarctic. Read below how Schaeffler helps research scientists with their neutrino experiments.
Multi-talented
It is a key component in a large number of vehicle applications ranging from the drive to the steering system and has a diameter and height of only five centimeters: A brushless direct current motor.
Electric mobility picks up momentum
Electric powertrain technologies are increasingly catching on. A development that clearly affects globally active automotive and industrial supplier Schaeffler as current statistics demonstrate.
The electric revolution of the World Rally Championship
The light has turned green for the hybrid era of the FIA World Rally Championship (WRC). Global automotive supplier Schaeffler and its subsidiary Compact Dynamics are playing a pioneering role.
An idea that literally moves
Schaeffler was awarded the innovation in hardware award by the International Conference on Social Robotics (ICSR) for its GraviKart robotic push trolly solution for the manufacturing industry.
In motion for the last 75 years
It is one of the greatest “Made in Germany” success stories: The global automotive and industrial supplier Schaeffler is celebrating its 75th anniversary today.
From gray to green
Starting in 2025, Schaeffler will be buying 100,000 metric tons (110,000 short tons) of “green” steel per year from a Swedish startup. The steel will be produced with hydrogen.
Scalable and customized
Whether hybrid or fully electric, whether 48 or 800 volts, Schaeffler’s modular powertrain portfolio has the right solution for any e-car.
Intelligent chassis systems
Schaeffler is steadily expanding its involvement in autonomous mobility based on intelligent chassis systems.
A perfect give and go
As an innovation leader, Schaeffler is already researching the technologies of tomorrow together with universities, institutes, and research facilities.
Less chain, more flexibility
Neither chain, nor shaft, nor belt - Schaeffler presented the "Bike-by-Wire" system Free Drive as an innovative solution for bicycles at Eurobike 2021 in Friedrichshafen.
Smartly steered
Schaeffler’s intelligent mechatronic rear axle steering system ensures greater agility, driving comfort and safety with maximum energy efficiency.
An innovative solution
Hybrid or all-electric systems are complementing or replacing conventional powertrains. Schaeffler has developed a modular e-axle kit enabling an extensive, universal product portfolio.
The future wound in a coil
Be it in cars, trains or airplanes, in systems ranging from hybrid to fully electric, mobility of the future requires electric motors. But how does an electric motor actually work?
Preventive action
The transformation toward e-mobility doesn’t stop at the gates of the spare parts market. Schaeffler Automotive Aftermarket is gearing up for the demands of tomorrow.
The fuel cell: an onboard power-plant
Electric powertrains don’t have to involve range issues: The fuel cell is a case in point. How does this technology work and why has it recently become a hot topic?
Impeccably round and smooth
No bearing would rotate without perfectly shaped steel spheres. A manufacturing technology feat whose beginnings date back more than 130 years – and that today ensures proper rotation.
Taking an idea to success
Two pioneering examples from the Schaeffler world illustrate how complex and time-consuming development work can be: the dry dual clutch and the fully variable UniAir valve control system.
