Schaeffler Technologies with its brands INA and FAG is a leading worldwide supplier of rolling bearings, spherical plain bearings, plain bearings, linear products, accessories specific to bearings and
comprehensive maintenance products and services.It has approximately 40 000 catalogue products manufactured as standard, providing an extremely wide portfolio that gives secure
coverage of applications from all 60 designated industrial market sectors.
The central factors responsible for this success are our outstanding strength in innovation, our global focus on local customer proximity, highly developed manufacturing methods, extremely high quality standards in all processes and our ability to transform specific customer requirements quickly and accurately into cost-effective
solutions. Against this background of expertise, knowledge and experience together with our wide range of catalogue items,
we see ourselves as a high performance, customer focussed partner. Research and Development As a company looking to the future, we are especially active in the field of research and development. The key areas in this respect include not only research into fundamental principles, materials technology, tribology and calculation but also extensive inspection
and test methods as well as activities to optimise manufacturing technology. This is oriented towards ensuring the continuous development, improvement and application of our products in the long term.
We carry out research and development on a global basis. Our development centres are linked with each other worldwide and are thus in a position to exchange current information on a very short
timescale as well as access and communicate the most recent data. This ensures that a uniform level of knowledge and information is available worldwide.
In addition to continued development of standard products, we work closely in research and development activities with our customers where specific customer solutions are required. They can thus benefit from the best product for their application, with the maximum possible performance capacity at a cost-effective price.
“Zero defects” is our quality objective. We have matched all our processes, both in product development and in manufacturing, to this target.
Our comprehensive know-how in forming, in forging, in heat treatment and surface technologies, in hard machining by means of grinding and honing and in assembly processes is applied in order to ensure that our products fulfil the required quality level.
Our manufacturing processes are monitored by means of systematic quality inspections. This ensures that all products continuously fulfil the same high standard of quality.
Through a closely knit network of development and manufacturing sites, sales companies and an international distribution structure, we are represented throughout the world. This global presence ensures effective linkage between the major markets in Europe, India, South East Asia/Pacific Region, East Asia, North and South America.
As a result, we have an on-site presence with service and technical advice in close proximity to the customer.
We take orders from throughout the world and make deliveries worldwide too. Furthermore, we support our customers worldwide in resolving their bearing arrangement requirements, respond to technical queries and develop specific bearing arrangement solutions in local partnership with our customers.
Large size bearing
Rolling Bearings. It gives descriptions of standard rolling bearings with an outside diameter of 320 mm or greater and the appropriate accessories as well as numerous special rolling bearings and large plain bearings.
We are thus offering an overview of our product range for large and heavy machinery for the original equipment manufacture, distribution and aftermarket sectors. In order to facilitate the selection of suitable products, reference is made at many points to typical applications.
The catalogue shows which products can be considered for a bearing arrangement, the factors that must be taken into consideration in the design, the tolerances required on the adjacent construction and how the bearing arrangement is sealed.
It gives detailed information on the calculation of bearing rating life, on temperatures and loads, on the lubricants that are most suitable for the bearing arrangement and, last but not least, on how
the products are correctly mounted and maintained. The data represent the state of current technology and manufacture as at April 2009. They take account of the progress in rolling bearing technology as well as the experience gained in numerous applications. Any information in publications that does not concur with the data in this catalogue is therefore invalid.
This catalogue gives descriptions of standard and special bearings.
Since these are used in numerous applications, we cannot make a judgement as to whether any malfunctions will cause harm to persons or property. Follow instructions It is always and fundamentally the responsibility of the designer and user to ensure that all specifications are observed and that all necessary information is communicated to the end user. This applies in particular to applications in which product failure and malfunction may constitute a hazard to human beings.
