The four radial and four axial hydraulic cylinders (right-hand side of the picture), which generate the real loads and moments that occur in a wind turbine. The radial cylinders simulate the weight of a rotor hub with rotor blades while the axial cylinders generate the wind loads.
Shortening development times and making the design process of wind turbines more reliable: The world’s largest, most up-to-date and most powerful large-size bearing test stand enables large-size bearings of up to 15 tons and measuring up to 3.5 meters such as those used in wind power applications in particular to be tested in realistic conditions using a comprehensive simulation program.
MFTC (multi-function torque converters) are tailored to modern, charged engines and are considered as revolutionary invention in the field of torque converters.
Smaller, lighter, more efficient – today’s torque converter generation is optimized for exemplary efficiency.
The eDifferential supports the steering function and has a positive effect on driving dynamics, safety and driving comfort.
The temperature of the motor, turbocharger and transmission as well as the interior can be precisely controlled with the thermal management module.
The rolling bearing supports reduce friction and enable a new balancer shaft design with an optimized mass.
The Serial Hybrid
The overrunning alternator pulley is one of the “unsung heroes”. This inconspicuous component reduces vibrations and improves the energy efficiency of modern engines.
Rotary slide valves controlled by sensors enable the ideal temperature window for the engine and transmission to be reached quickly.
The innovative thermal management module from Schaeffler reduces fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by up to four percent.
LuK now manufactures more than 100,000 dry dual clutches per month.
The Parallel Hybrid
The overrunning alternator pulley
LuK offers both “dry” and “wet” dual clutch solutions.
The lightweight differential
The new FAG spindle bearings RS have large size balls, a nominal contact angle of 20 degrees and an internal construction for optimized friction.
The current Schaeffler product range includes more than 400 different overrunning alternator pulleys and more than 140 million of these components have been manufactured in 15 years.
With torque motors of a segment construction, INA Drives & Mechatronics GmbH & Co. oHG (IDAM) offers a very high level of cost-effectiveness. The motors make a convincing case by means of high speeds and ease of maintenance.
The Schaeffler concept vehicles CO2ncept-10%, Schaeffler Hybrid and ACTIVeDRIVE show the wide-ranging spectrum of modern automotive engineering and give a perspective on the extensive Schaeffler product portfolio.
In the Schaeffler Hybrid, Schaeffler presents the innovative in-hub motor eWheel Drive. It also allows the development of completely new vehicle architectures.
Heavy duty linear recirculating roller bearing and guideway assembly RUE.
The new FAG high-tech Cronitect hybrid rolling bearing: Increased load carrying capacity, smooth running and reliability.
Mounting of spindle bearings
Spherical roller bearing with Lubtect® compound for a reliable supply of lubricant even under critical operating conditions.
The Schaeffler Hybrid is a ideas concept allowing an illustrative comparison of various hybrid configurations. These include the Schaeffler in-hub motors known as the eWheel Drive.
Linear roller bearing RUS and flat cage guidance system M/V.
High-speed KUVE-B-HS profiled rail linear guides offer speeds of up to 10 meters per second without losses in load carrying capacity and rigidity.
The improved contact between the end face and rib reduces the friction and significantly increases the axial load carrying capacity of cylindrical roller bearings.
Up to 35 percent less friction – the Schaeffler Group is setting the new standard for deep groove ball bearings with the new FAG Generation C deep groove ball bearing.
