Challenges and Trends

The development of agricultural machinery is determined by global trends like population growth and an increasing awareness of environmental and climate issues. The existing arable land is insufficient for supplying the increasing need for food for people and livestock. A widespread shortage of trainees is putting additional pressure on the industry. Increased yields must therefore be achieved by boosting efficiency and productivity.

In addition, ever stricter limits on CO₂ emissions and the use of fertilizers are being introduced. To meet these challenges, new technological trends like digitalization, electrification, automation, and smart farming are quickly finding their way into agricultural engineering.

 
  • Sustainability on All Levels

    Climate change is undoubtedly the greatest challenge of the current century. Among other things, Schaeffler helps to reduce the CO₂ emissions of agricultural machinery with friction-optimized bearings and highly efficient electric motors. To meet our customers’ sustainability goals as well as those of the entire Schaeffler Group, we increasingly rely on the use of green or recycled steel, CO₂-optimized heat treatments, and bearing remanufacturing.
  • Sensors Improve Productivity and Processes

    Digitalization is driving the development of agriculture machinery. The collection of operating data enables the optimization of work processes and maintenance, which leads to higher quality, longer service life, more safety and comfort. Schaeffler supports this with sensors for measuring force, torque and wheel contact force.
  • Zero Emissions Thanks to E-Mobility

    Electric motors from Schaeffler are used as traction drives and as decoupled auxiliary units in hybrid systems to reduce the CO₂ emissions of agricultural machinery while at the same time boosting efficiency. They are characterized by low noise, extreme reliability, and maximum ease of maintenance.
  • Precise Movements with Electromechanical Actuators

    Schaeffler offers a comprehensive range of space-saving, electromechanical high-performance actuators for implementing the linear lifting and tilting movements of agricultural machinery. These actuators reduce emissions, deliver highest positioning accuracy, and don’t require any hydraulic oil that might contaminate the soil.

Applications

Agricultural machinery must operate productively and reliably under extremely difficult conditions. In the summer, dust makes it necessary for the bearing arrangements to be well sealed. In the spring and fall, hard soil conditions put the mechanical stability of all machine parts to a hard test. Constant vibrations and jarring shocks make for constant strain in all seasons. Schaeffler offers rugged and reliable bearing arrangements that are specially designed to meet these requirements and are sufficiently protected against harsh ambient conditions like dirt, shocks, stone chipping, drought, and moisture.

Industry trends like electrification, digitalization, and automation are also reflected in our product range. Our sensors, electric motors, and linear actuators make a significant contribution to the sustainability, efficiency, and productivity of tractors, combine harvesters, forage harvesters, and many other agricultural machines.

Products

Facing dust, dirt, heat, and moisture, bearing solutions for agricultural and forestry machinery have to function reliably for many years. They’re also exposed to special conditions like shocks, vibrations, and heavy loads at low speeds. Schaeffler Group engineers develop systems that meet these extreme challenges. On request, we work closely with manufacturers to design special customized solutions.

New developments also consider current market demands like digitization, smart farming, sustainability, and energy efficiency. The electrification of drives and auxiliary units is the best approach for reducing CO₂ emissions and for networking agricultural machinery. Schaeffler offers electric motors, sensors, and actuators to meet the specific requirements of agriculture and forestry for mobile work machines.
