The agricultural sector faces a constant challenge in its pursuit of greater sustainability and long-term viability. In this context, the efficiency of machinery becomes a fundamental element. During Agritechnica, the leading international fair dedicated to agricultural machinery, Schaeffler is scheduled to present innovative technological solutions that will enable its customers to develop more reliable and efficient equipment, even under demanding working conditions.
One of the main highlights will be the introduction of high-performance electric motors and electromechanical linear actuators, which replace traditional hydraulic cylinders. These motors are designed to significantly enhance the electrification and sensorization of traction and working systems, allowing agricultural machinery manufacturers to markedly reduce energy consumption. Additionally, Schaeffler will showcase low-friction bearings optimized to maximize machinery efficiency.
Patrick Scherr, the global head of the Offroad sector at Schaeffler, emphasized that the company is known for its high-performance bearings, especially in extreme conditions. “Our offering has expanded in sensor technology and electric motors, enabling us to facilitate our customers’ development of more efficient machines and improve autonomous equipment,” Scherr remarked.
This year, the company will present a complete range of electric motors designed for heavy-duty applications, with power outputs ranging from 110 to 220 kW continuous, reaching up to 310 kW at maximum. This technology includes a drive controller that allows for energy recovery during braking, thus increasing system efficiency.
Electric motors are not only compatible with diesel engines operating in tandem, but their compact size allows them to adapt to various configurations, enhancing design flexibility in agricultural machinery.
Meanwhile, the new EWELLIX linear actuators are designed to optimize crop performance and reduce operational costs, operating without oil and offering more efficient energy management. Combined with sensor solutions, these actuators can measure loads and optimize processes, proving beneficial for both original machines and refurbished equipment.
Additionally, Schaeffler has announced enhancements to its tapered and cylindrical roller bearings, which feature a reduced friction coefficient of up to 75%. This improvement not only increases dynamic load capacity but also supports more efficient operation of agricultural machinery.
Finally, the “Schaeffler Field Pro” system, optimized for tillage discs, demonstrates how the company is innovating in the robustness and durability of bearing units. New corrosion protection systems and optimized ball bearings ensure smoother operation, thereby improving the effectiveness of agricultural operations.
With these innovations, Schaeffler aims to contribute to smart agriculture and promote sustainable development in the agro-industrial sector.
