Schaeffler f rdert studentische Motorsport-Projekte
Weltpremiere eines schlauen Rennwagens
Ein bemerkenswerter Rennwagen feierte Weltpremiere am Standort der Schaeffler-Konzernmarke FAG in Schweinfurt: der MFSix, ein von Studenten der Hochschule f r angewandte Wissenschaften W rzburg-Schweinfurt in Eigenregie entwickeltes und gebautes Formel-Auto. Unter die Premieren-G ste mischte sich auch der zweimalige DTM-Champion Timo Scheider. Der Schaeffler-Markenbotschafter war beeindruckt vom Einsatz der Studenten des Mainfranken Racing Teams und von ihrem Fahrzeug.
Es ist toll zu sehen, mit welchem Ehrgeiz und Know-how die Jungs und M dels dabei sind , lobte der Audi-Werksfahrer. Sie nutzen eine besondere M glichkeit, den Motorsport von der technischen Seite kennenzulernen. Mit einem starken Partner wie Schaeffler an der Seite erf hrt das Projekt eine enorme Unterst tzung.
Neben technischem Know-how steuerte die Schaeffler Gruppe Bauteile aus ihrem umfangreichen Produktprogramm f r den Aufbau des MFSix bei, unter anderem Schr gkugellager f r Radlager und Lenkung, Rillenkugellager f r Lenkung und Umlenkhebel der Hinterachse sowie Nadellagerh lsen f r das Differenzial. Die Ausbildungswerkstatt von Schaeffler fertigte dar ber hinaus Fahrwerksbauteile.
Angetrieben wird der MFSix MF steht f r Mainfranken, Six f r die sechste Fahrzeuggeneration des Teams von einem 92 PS starken Motorradmotor. Eingesetzt wird der kompakte Rennwagen bei Wettbewerben der Formula Student in Hocken-heim (31.07. 04.08.), Tschechien (08. 11.08.) und Spanien (29.08. 01.09.). Im Konkurrenzkampf gegen bis zu 74 Gegner z hlt nicht nur Geschwindigkeit, sondern das Gesamtpaket aus Rennperformance, Konstruktion, Finanzplanung und Marketing. Ziel ist, das Studium um praktische Erfahrungen mit Konstruktion und Fertigung sowie um die wirtschaftlichen Aspekte des Automobilbaus zu erg nzen.
Seit 2006 ist die weltweit ausgetragene Formula Student ein Baustein des breiten Motorsport-Engagements von Schaeffler. Neben dem Mainfranken Racing Team der Hochschule W rzburg-Schweinfurt unterst tzt der Technologiekonzern zw lf weitere studentische Rennst lle in Deutschland, die insgesamt 15 Autos einsetzen. Aber auch Teams aus anderen L ndern profitieren vom Schaeffler-Engagement. Unter anderem erm glicht die Schaeffler Group USA dem Team der University of Akron auch in diesem Jahr wieder die Teilnahme in Hockenheim. Anderen Teams greift Schaeffler auf Nachfrage mit Fachwissen und verg nstigten Teilen unter die Arme.
Die Formula Student hat sich als Talentschmiede f r angehende Ingenieure etabliert und schafft wertvolle Ankn pfungspunkte zwischen dem technischen Nachwuchs und Schaeffler. Karin G rl, Employer Branding bei Schaeffler, erkl rt: F r uns ist es wichtig, die Teams und die Studierenden zu unterst tzen. So sind wir dicht dran an jungen Ingenieuren, die wir uns sp ter als Mitarbeiter w nschen: Studenten, die Projekte durchgezogen und Erfahrungen gesammelt haben, die man im universit ren Alltag nicht sammeln kann. Und genau diesen Studierenden k nnen wir unser Unternehmen sehr pers nlich vorstellen.
