The new test rig enables large-size bearings of up to 15 tons and measuring up to 3.5 meters such as those used in wind power applications in particular to be tested in realistic conditions using a comprehensive simulation program. This means Schaeffler is making a major contribution to shortening development times for wind turbines as well as making the design process more reliable and increasing the cost-effectiveness and safety of these turbines.

In open pit mines all over the world, coal, ores and oil sand are transported in large dump trucks. FAG supplies not only the wheel bearings for the electrically driven rear wheels but also for the complete gears. The wheels of a dump truck can be more than four meters in diameter. The outside diameters of the bearings used here can measure up to more than one meter.

Schaeffler is the specialist for large-size bearings and preferred development partner and supplier for the bearing supports in Ferris wheels. The Millennium Wheel in London has been turning safely since 2000 thanks to two spherical rolling bearings from FAG.
