With its forward-looking bearing arrangement solutions for feed spindles, main spindles, rotary tables and linear guidance units, Schaeffler KG has been at the forefront of the world market for decades. The bearing components alone, however, are often no longer the decisive factor for these machine subsystems.

Our customers have of course benefited directly from significant performance improvements and unique selling propositions thanks to our “ready-to-fit” products; these compact, ready-to-fit bearings are used in accordance with the simple principle: unpack, screw mount, use. In order to optimise the entire machine tool system, however, it is becoming ever more important not simply to support the subsystems but to integrate important functions such as measurement, sealing, lubrication, braking etc. in the components themselves. This intellectual approach is fulfilled comprehensively by the new concept added competence in the Production Machinery Sector since it attaches central importance to systems solution thinking for the bearing, bearing position and entire system. This means that you can now access a product range that gives optimum coverage for all your applications in the machine tool.
