If the shafts in pumps, compressors or gearboxes are not aligned with each other, the result is higher energy consumption and increased machine wear, which can lead to unplanned downtime.

Global automotive and industrial supplier Schaeffler will be showcasing its latest innovations for the machine tool manufacturing industry at EMO 2021, in Milan 4th-9th October.

Schaeffler, a global supplier of motion and mobility solutions to the automotive and industrial sectors, has launched "Virtual Fitter" – a quick and efficient rolling bearings mounting support service that operates remotely through the use of augmented reality. Available on a 24/7 basis, Virtual Fitter is available more quickly than an on-site Schaeffler expert would be, as it avoids them having to visit a location in person.

With the introduction of OPTIME to the market in 2020, automotive and industrial supplier Schaeffler presented an innovative condition monitoring system for machines and systems.

With a portfolio of innovative bearing supports, robot gearboxes and drive motors, automotive and industrial supplier Schaeffler is presenting itself at the Hannover Messe 2021 as a partner for the fast-growing robot industry.

Schaeffler is a new “anchor partner” to the Stuttgart-based STARTUP AUTOBAHN innovation platform.

Global industrial and automotive supplier Schaeffler has launched the new P.ACT series of electromechanical linear actuators to the UK market.

Manual lubrication frequently takes place too late and with too much lubricant. An automatic lubricant supply prevents over-lubrication and under-lubrication and also saves time and extends the bearings’ operating life. Maintenance outlay and maintenance costs can be reduced by up to 30 per cent compared to manual lubrication, and problem-free production is ensured in the long term.

Condition monitoring system created in an agile development.

By installing automatic lubricators for bearings on its conveyor drive motors and belt pulleys, an opencast mine in Hungary has seen a range of benefits, including prevention of unplanned downtime, longer bearing life and reduced repair work.
