Performance, efficiency, intelligence - rolling bearings are at the heart of new trends in technology and products

The global megatrends of mobility and Industrie 4.0 as well as the associated further development of rolling bearings, plain bearings and linear guidance systems in terms of loading, operating life and power density are the main features of Schaeffler AGs Industrial divisions presence at the Hannover Messe 2015. In addition to the perennial themes of increasing performance, economy and energy efficiency, the subjects of sensors, actuators and networking as well as continuous condition monitoring are key focus points in product development. The drive components with integrated sensor technology and smart actuators we are presenting in Hannover are a prerequisite for networking machinery and plant as well as for the control of autonomous processes in our customers value added chain, according to Robert Schullan, member of the Executive Board at Schaeffler AG and President of Schaeffler Industrial.

Mr. Schullan emphasized the significance of the Hannover Messe and the MDA as the international platform and leading exhibition for trends in technology in power transmission and control technology. The MDA provides a complete international overview of this field and highlights current trends. This year we will be highlighting the subjects of Industrie 4.0 , sustainability and energy efficiency, condition monitoring systems, drive systems for wind turbines and sealing technology, says Mr. Schullan.

Mr. Schullan stressed the outstanding role of the future market of India, the partner country for Hannover Messe this year. Thanks to our longstanding and strong presence in the Indian market and our innovative solutions, we will be able to offer significant technological support with the investments that are set to be made in the country's infrastructure and local industrial facilities as well as in renewable energies, says Mr. Schullan. Schaeffler is already developing and manufacturing products for the Indian market at four locations. The most important industrial sectors for Schaeffler in India are agricultural engineering, the steel and textile industries, motorcycles and railways, and also production machinery and wind power. Schaeffler has recently certified its first Schaeffler Technology Center in India at the Vadodara site. Extensive engineering and service know-how can now be accessed quickly and locally to provide optimum customer service.

Mobility for Tomorrow

Environmentally friendly drives, urban and inter-urban mobility and the broad subject of energy are the specific focus points of Schaefflers Mobility for Tomorrow strategy. As development partner and global supplier to the automotive and industrial sectors, Schaeffler has a detailed knowledge of drive train systems in both vehicles and industrial applications. Schaefflers strength lies in its breadth of knowledge which covers not only the automotive sector but all other types of urban and interurban mobility such as two-wheeled transport, rail and aviation. In the field of energy, Schaeffler is working as a development partner for the generation of conventional and renewable energy as well as the most efficient possible use of applied energy through products with minimum friction. When it comes to Mobility for Tomorrow', energy-efficient, cost-effective, and durable components for engines, transmissions, and chassis play a major role when it comes to Indias growing market for two-wheel vehicles, for example. Schaeffler is making a significant contribution to reductions in consumption and emissions as well as to increasing reliability, robustness and economy says Mr. Schullan.

Industrie 4.0

The Industrie 4.0 initiative places particular emphasis on networking components, machinery and production systems by using IT systems which are either top-down or integrated into machines. A prerequisite for this is components which can identify and transmit condition-based information. Rolling bearings have a decisive role to play here as they are responsible for guidance and positioning as well as supporting process forces and movements. Schaeffler is a leader in the expansion of rolling bearings to include sensors, actuators, control elements, and software components. Our aims range from continuous condition monitoring, for example, to independently locating solutions when error messages occur. Or active process control based on data from the bearings, says Mr. Schullan.

Integrated torque measurement units for maximum precision and efficiency

A highlight from Schaeffler is the new magnetoelastic FAG torque measurement unit. This mechatronic solution from Schaeffler provides significantly more accurate monitoring and control of applications and processes. By offering solutions for bearings and subsystem, Schaeffler is able to provide the torque measurement unit as a ready-to-fit solution, matched to the specific application. Schaeffler is providing an important prerequisite for networked and intelligent processes on the path to Industrie 4.0 by offering precision monitoring of a machines status and process through measurement of its torque. Torque controlled manure and fertilizer spreaders are already making use of this technology.

Smart actuators: Innovative screw drives for electromagnetic linear actuators

Schaeffler is presenting a new design and new operating principle to expand its range of spindles by introducing a screw drive with particularly high load carrying capacity and power density. The PWG planetary screw drive is paving the way towards smart actuators: extremely high efficiency electromagnetic linear actuators with minimum space requirement. Applications and i
