Schaeffler – The Leading Motion Technology Company Ever since its founding in 1946, Schaeffler’s history has been marked by innovations that make it possible to shape motion – in various types and forms. What started in 1950 with the patenting of the cage-guided needle roller bearing by its founders has evolved into the leading Motion Technology Company that advances how the world moves.
With innovative technologies, products, and services for industrial applications, electric mobility, CO₂-efficient drives, chassis solutions, Industry 4.0, digitalization and renewable energies, Schaeffler is a reliable partner for making motion more efficient, intelligent, and sustainable – over the entire life cycle. As the leading Motion Technology Company, Schaeffler offers a unique product and service portfolio that has been organized into eight product families linked by “motion” as the underlying theme: Guide Motion (bearings & linear guides); Transmit Motion (transmission & engine components); Control Motion (ECUs and sensors); Generate Motion (actuators); Power Motion (power electronic units); Drive Motion (electric motors and drives); Energize Motion (battery & hydrogen solutions); and Sustain Motion (repair & monitoring services).
The industry-leading quality and reliability of FAG- and INA-branded rolling bearings and linear technology have made Schaeffler a recognized and reliable partner to numerous customers in the industrial sector throughout the world. Firmly committed to manufacturing “in the region, for the region,” Schaeffler supplies many of its rolling bearing products for industrial applications from the company’s production facility in Joplin, Missouri. Schaeffler also operates a Linear Quick Center in Fort Mill, SC, that provides custom-cut round shafting and rails, linear ball bearings, and an extensive line of actuators.
The Schaeffler Group’s operations are structured into four divisions: E-Mobility, Powertrain & Chassis, Vehicle Lifetime Solutions and Bearings & Industrial Solutions.
