Here you will find everything that the designer needs for his design and the development engineer for his new development, from the draft to quality assurance in production, such as new products, their applications, new technologies or research results. Company reports as well as topics on technological and megatrends in all industrial sectors complete our range of industry news. Let's start with the news.
IFM Electronic was able to increase sales again in the 2023 financial year. The preliminary consolidated financial statements show a new sales record with sales of over 1,4 billion euros and growth of 3%.
Jumo has designed further training courses with a view to the currently exciting topics being discussed in individual sectors and offers corresponding seminars as part of the Jumo Campus.
Schaeffler AG's sales increased by 2023% to EUR 5,8 billion in 16,3. Currency-adjusted sales growth was 5,8 percent, which is within the forecast for the 2023 financial year.
The Motion Technology Company Schaeffler will expand production in the USA with a new automotive production site. The new facility will be located in Dover, Ohio.
The Ebm-Papst Group has announced that it will sell its Industrial Drive Technology (IDT) division to Siemens AG. Both sides have signed a corresponding agreement.

With the FAG Flange bearing Housing units from Schaeffler the manufacturers of electric motors can concentrate fully on their core competencies: the development and production of stator and rotor. The rotor bearing, seal and bearing housing are combined into a ready-to-assemble assembly. Schaeffler now also offers these housing units with condition monitoring and a lubrication system for optimized total operating costs.
Rotor fixed and floating bearings, lubrication system, seal and housing are precisely matched and delivered in a ready-to-mount unit. To cover all requirements, there are four series:
Depending on the requirements, the two grease-lubricated series FERS and FERB can be equipped with various types of bearings and are suitable for horizontal and vertical mounting positions.
The FKC version was developed for heavy horizontal machines and is equipped with a radial spherical roller bearing. This unit is oil lubricated. Depending on requirements, an oil sump or oil circulation lubrication can be realized.
The FKB version is equipped with axial spherical roller bearings and a radial deep groove ball bearing and is used in large vertical machines. It is designed for oil sump and oil circulation lubrication.
The flange bearing housing units with shaft diameters from 100 mm are designed so that they can be largely adapted to the customer-specific interfaces of end shield and motor shaft. As an alternative to current-isolated bearings and hybrid bearings, the housing flange can be coated in a current-insulating manner for protection against passage of current.
The Smart Check was specially developed as a condition monitoring system for electric motors, fans, pumps and similar units. It can be adapted to the flange bearing housing units and, based on the structure-borne sound vibrations, detects, among other things, incipient bearing damage and imbalances. In addition, with the help of an additional control unit, it can also be used to trigger lubrication pulses to a connected grease lubricator such as the Concept2. Both over-lubrication and insufficient lubrication of grease-lubricated rotor bearings are reliably avoided. The service life of the bearings increases, the failure probability and the maintenance costs of the drive decrease.
