Whether direct drives, precision planetary gearboxes, angular contact needle roller bearings or UPRS motors — Schaeffler’s exhibits were all innovation turned metal. The company premiered a fully integrated torque sensor system during the show. This solution, which is unique on the market to date, provides highly accurate torque signals without requiring additional installation space and without any loss of rigidity in the overall mechanical system.

Today, production focuses on precision components and systems for powertrains and chassis as well as rolling and plain bearing solutions. With around 83,000 employees, one of the world’s largest family-owned companies generated sales of around 13.9 billion euros in 2021. And with more than 1,800 patent applications, the Schaeffler Group ranked third among Germany’s most innovative companies in 2021, according to the DPMA.
