Creative Technology

For decades, INA has stood for creative application solutions, great engineering and manufacturing expertise and a strong customer focus. Thinking outside the box, that is, taking new paths to develop ideas and think beyond barriers, is just as important now as it was when the company was first established. Dr. Georg Schaeffler, who founded the company with his brother Wilhelm in 1946, demonstrated what it means to think outside the box as early as 1949. At this point, his development of the needle roller and cage assembly a pioneering innovation helped the needle roller bearing achieve an industrial breakthrough. Georg Schaefflers inventive spirit and his will to succeed have become a permanent part of INAs corporate culture in more than 35 plants worldwide. All over the world, INA develops and produces rolling bearings, plain bearings and linear guides for machine building and engine components for the automotive industry. INA works closely with its customers as an engineering partner, starting with the initial stages of system development. New customized solutions are developed daily, which means that 1,000 new products are launched every year. INA has invested heavily in research and development, most recently in new R&D centers in Germany, Asia and North America. INA brand products are used in the Schaeffler Groups automotive division for applications in engines, transmissions and chassis and in its industrial division. INA has unmatched expertise in forming precision products. This know-how allows efficient, customized solutions at an excellent price/performance ratio. In the industrial division, four business units for production machinery, power transmission and rail technology, heavy industry, and consumer products drive INAs and FAGs joint business.
The starting point of INAs successful development was the cage-guided needle roller bearing. Since then, the brand has stood for continuous development expertise. Important from the very beginning: close cooperation with customers to find solutions for their problems.

FAG's large bearings such as those used in the Millennium Wheel in London have diameters of more than four meters. High-performance materials increase the functional reliability and service life of our products.

Brand of the Schaeffler Group

Innovation in Motion

The FAG brand also started with an ingenious idea. In 1883, Friedrich Fischer designed a ball grinding machine in Schweinfurt, Germany that, for the first time, made it possible to produce absolutely round steel balls by grinding. This invention is regarded as the foundation for the entire rolling bearing industry. This is one of the reasons why FAG has long been considered to be a pioneer in rolling bearing technology. Today, FAG is one of the leading brands for applications in machine building, the automotive industry and in aviation and aerospace technology. FAG has companies, subsidiaries and sales agencies in all major industrial countries. Since 2001, FAG has been part of the Schaeffler Group and has been active in all of the groups divisions Aerospace, Automotive and Industrial. Together with INAs complementary product range, FAG has one of the widest product portfolios in the rolling bearing industry, covering nearly all applications in production machinery, power transmission and rail technology, heavy industry and consumer products. FAG ball bearings and roller bearings are manufactured as standard and special bearings in many designs and sizes with diameters ranging from 3 millimeters to 4.25 meters. Together with INA, FAG offers customers comprehensive support and services for the diagnosis, maintenance and mounting of rolling bearings and complete systems. As a forward-looking company, FAG has invested significant amounts in research and development. Modern simulation methods and testing facilities as well as special materials engineering laboratories ensure the continuous development and improvement of all product lines and confirm the innovative force of FAG.
Quality testing under clean room conditions consistency that begins with the development process and ends with final inspection. FIS complements the Schaeffler Groups range of services by providing remote data collection and diagnosis for condition monitoring.

Gearing up for Tomorrow

LuK supplies systems and components for vehicle drivetrains to customers around the world. When Georg and Wilhelm Schaeffler founded LuK in 1965, their objective was to produce diaphragm spring clutches for the successor to the VW Beetle. LuK clutches are used in one in four cars worldwide today. With innovative products and lean, customer-oriented structures, LuK has experienced highly dynamic growth. Almost all major automobile manufacturers benefit from the excellent system knowledge of LuK engineers. Dedicated employees, innovation, product development and technological leadership are the main factors of the company's success. Constructive cooperation with customers is just as important. This is why project teams are available to all LuK customers to ensure that specific requirements are met. As a technological leader in many areas, LuK can look back on the development of pioneering innovations: The dual-mass flywheel, components for the CVT transmission for high torques, the automation of manual transmissions and high-performance torque converters represent significant contributions to the vehicle of the future. In addition, LuK is an important supplier of pumps for steering columns, chassis and brake systems. Current innovations include the eco-friendly CO2 air conditioning compressor and the twin clutch, which allows comfortable gearshifting without traction forces. While LuK is responsible for the OEM business, LuK Aftermarket Service is responsible for the entire automotive aftermarket business of the Schaeffler Group. In addition to its own products, the automotive aftermarket also sells brands made by other manufacturers.
