We pioneer motion
Our aim is to provide our customers with products and technologies that make motion smarter, cleaner and safer. Our claim sums it up very well: “We pioneer motion”. We have grouped our Schaeffler products into product families, according to their specific relation to motion. Those families are: Guide Motion, Transmit Motion, Control Motion, Generate Motion, Power Motion, Drive Motion, Energize Motion and Sustain Motion.
The Motion Technology Company
Our motion technology portfolio will be even more advanced to meet the complexity of customer demands. With our further developed positioning we focus on motion as the connecting element of our portfolio. This is how we play a decisive role across all the aspects of motion technology in the markets we serve.
Bearings & Linear guides
Bearings and linear guides for moving components in a targeted manner, ensuring high efficiency by reducing friction to a minimum – in cars, airplanes, wind turbines, and production machines
Transmission & Engine components
Solutions for transmitting mechanical energy such as transmissions, gearboxes, clutches, dampers, and various other products convert torque and speed for a wide range of applications – in cars, trucks, industrial automation, medical technology, and many others
Electric control units & Sensors
Innovative sensors and intelligent electronic control units for controlling, regulating, and optimizing the performance and efficiency of various motion control systems – in cars, trucks, motorcycles, and many other applications
Actuators
Actuator systems for converting signals into mechanical movement, force, pressure, or torque for functionality, safety, and efficiency – in cars, trucks, agriculture, medical technology, and production
Power electronic units
Power electronics for converting electric energy for the traction motor to meet the highest performance requirements – for efficient and comfortable mobility in hybrid and electric powertrains
E-motors & E-drives
Electric drive systems – synergy of electric motor, transmission, and power electronics in powerful electric axles and dedicated hybrid systems for sustainable comfort and efficiency
Battery & Hydrogen solutions
Systems for generating, converting, storing, and managing clean energy as the backbone of a sustainable future – with hydrogen and electricity as the main energy carriers for mobile and stationary applications
Repair & Monitoring services
Digital services, intelligent condition monitoring systems, as well as repair and maintenance solutions for extending the product life cycle – diverse applications across all industries
By means of our product families, we describe all products and services that we offer along the entire range of motion, from all types of bearings and linear guides that guide motion to our repair and monitoring services that ensure that our products are in use for long, thus that sustain motion. Along the way, we transmit, generate, drive and energize motion by offering transmissions and engine components, actuators, e-motors and e-drives, as well as hydrogen stacks and plates.
Our product families are interrelated, as one product provides the foundation for another one. In some cases, one product is a crucial component for another one. In many other cases, technology from one product family is transferred to develop a product that is a key element of another product family.
This ability to extend our offerings from one product family to another also builds the basis to continuously extend the customer that we serve across a huge variety of markets.
