A key to combining the two is improved efficiency of the machines. Motion Technology Company Schaeffler is presenting a comprehensive portfolio of solutions at Agritechnica, the world’s leading trade fair, to help customers build reliable machines, and to help customers build reliable machines. that work safely and efficiently even in challenging work environments.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">In addition to highly efficient electric traction motors and new electromechanical linear actuators, friction-reduced roller bearings are also in focus at the fair. In addition, Schaeffler is presenting sensor solutions that can capture torques, loads and other data, helping to make production in agricultural technology more precise. make it more profitable and thus more economical.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">&nbsp;“We are known for our high-performance bearings, which can be used even under extremely challenging conditions. With the extended range – for example in sensor technology or with our eMotors – we are also able to: to support our customers in the development of highly efficient machines and further development in the field of autonomous agricultural machinery said Patrick Scherr, Global Sector Lead Offroad at Schaeffler.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">By means of solutions for the electrification of drive systems and work functions or by means of electric ignition shafts, Schaeffler designs future-proof solutions, which are essential for more efficient and therefore more sustainable agricultural technology.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Great potential for eMotors as main drive</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">For the first time, Schaeffler is presenting its highly efficient heavy-duty e-motors to the agricultural industry as a complete engine family with continuous outputs from 110 to 220 kW and peak outputs from 140 to 310 kW. The stand-alone power electronics have a four-quadrant drive controller, so that the braking energy can be recovered from the driving engines in shift mode.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">The electric motors can also be used as highly efficient generators in combination with a diesel engine and then supply the electric energy for the traction drive. Due to the compact outer dimensions, electric motors can also be used as electric power take-off (ePTO). Independent of the drive train and freely positionable, they open up a particularly large structural range.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Electrification of working function with linear actuators</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">The new electromechanical EWELLIX linear actuators of the EMA-80 series are also pioneering. When using these &quot;oil-free cylinders&quot; for various working functions, there is an optimized yield, lower energy consumption (power-on-demand), energy recovery (recovery) and lower operating costs in the foreground. In conjunction with the LoadSense pin, a sensor for load measurement, the amount of bulk material can be accurately detected, for example, when used on front loaders. This solution is suitable for both initial equipment and retrofitting.</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Increase performance and efficiency with roller bearings</span></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Roller bearings are in-house low friction. that, nevertheless, great progress is possible in reducing friction while simultaneously improving performance, Schaeffler will demonstrate at Agritechnica 2025 with new tapered roller and cylindrical roller bearings in X-life quality. Thus, the slip friction portion at the on-board contacts was significantly reduced, the surfaces on runways and rollers are improved and the cage geometry and dimensions of the rollers and runways are adjusted. Compared to conventional tapered roller bearings, these X-life bearings enable 25 percent higher dynamic loading speeds, 10 percent higher rated rotational speeds and 75 percent reduced friction. But it is even better: For extremely demanding bearing positions, the tapered roller bearings undergo a special heat treatment, which leads to 33 percent higher dynamic load rates and makes the bearings more insensitive to pollution.</span></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
