Robotics
Schaeffler offers robotics a great deal more than just an extensive portfolio of rolling bearings. We regard ourselves as a strategic partner for system components, precision gearboxes, pivot bearing supports, drive motors, sensors, and for the seventh axis. Our two precision gearbox product ranges, graded by performance, allow you to accommodate both standard and high-spec applications. Production processes can be monitored with a torque sensor integrated into the gearbox which does not require any extra space. Our portfolio covers every eventuality.
Printing Machinery
High-precision and wear-free bearing support for print rollers has everything to do with producing high-resolution printed images. For decades, the Schaeffler Group has been specialized in all applications in this segment with its INA and FAG brands and is therefore the global leader in technology and market shares for printing machines. Thanks to its extraordinary application know-how in industrial automation, the Schaeffler Group has repeatedly achieved cost savings paired with improved performance, often in the very same product – for example, track rollers with the Triondur coating system that are used in sheet-fed offset printing machines to greatly increase functional reliability and operating life.
