In addition, the many years of expertise of Schaeffler’s experts in conjunction with development by the customer allows the creation of advanced solutions, which enable reduced fuel consumption and low manufacturing costs in the minimum space. Our solutions are attractive, not least due to the constantly high level of Schaeffler’s quality and reliability, which are trusted by renowned manufacturers throughout the world.
Bearing Supports for the Drive Train
Whether it’s an electric motor or an internal combustion engine: You can use bearing solutions from Schaeffler to design an efficient and high-performance drive system.
The Right Bearing Support for Your Powered Equipment
Centrifugal clutches in powered mobile equipment are open during idling and form a connection to the engine at higher speeds. The bearing in the centrifugal clutch therefore rotates almost load-free during idling. When the clutch is closed, the bearing is stationary and it simultaneously transmits loads – a situation, which in combination with vibration frequently leads to signs of wear on the raceways.
For this application, Schaeffler offers a range of freely configurable needle roller and cage assemblies, which prevent precisely this effect and are therefore ideally suited. These can be offered with a plastic or sheet metal cage, single-piece, slotted or split cage design or modified rolling elements depending on the application. Please contact our experts in order to select a robust configuration that is optimally suited to your application.
