Wind turbine manufacturers and operators are currently faced with enormous challenges. How can higher performance be delivered on a permanent basis within exactly the same installation space while simultaneously extending the lifetimes of existing wind farms, improving the carbon footprint, and ultimately reducing electricity generation costs?
The automotive and industrial supplier Schaeffler has signed an agreement with an affiliate of Triton Fund V for the acquisition of the Ewellix Group.

Schaeffler is focusing on electric mobility. The company is demonstrating this by simultaneously launching several new electric axle drives (electric axles). “Electric axles are a key element of our electric mobility strategy,” says Matthias Zink, CEO Automotive Technologies at Schaeffler AG. Until now, up to three drive components were assembled in one compact unit.
You can extend operating lifetime of your bearings by having them remanufactured. During maintenance work, many bearings are replaced even though they have not yet reached the limits of their performance capacity. Remanufacturing of rolling bearings may represent an economically attractive alternative as it includes lower life-cycle costs as well as less environmental impact.
The transformation of the automotive and manufacturing industries towards Industry 4.0 is a challenge for all actors involved. To continue to be successful, the industry needs to invest in digital solutions linked to AI. In that transition, Schaeffler wants to be a leading player by creating smart solutions that increase the performance and functionality of products and services.
