Schaeffler Expands its OPTIME Ecosystem Portfolio: Smart FAG OPTIME C4 Lubricator Now Available Schaeffler Group USA Inc. announced that Rolling bearings depend on optimal lubrication to ensure long-term, reliable operation. In practice, however, manual rel lubrication is still part of the daily routine for many maintenance teams, and errors in this process remain one of the leading causes of bearing failures. This is precisely where Schaeffler, the Motion Technology Company, provides solutions with its lubricators. The latest development in the portfolio, the FAG OPTIME C4, is capable of simultaneously supplying several lubrication points while storing a greater quantity of lubricant. For maintenance teams, this opens up broader application possibilities in servicing their machinery fleet. As a multi-point lubricator, the FAG OPTime C4 features four outlets that can be programmed independently of one another. This allows a single lubricator to supply up to four lubrication points individually. As a result, only one device needs to be purchased, configured, and maintained to cover several points. In addition, both the outlet pressure and the fill volume of the lubricant cartridges are significantly higher. The FAG OPTIME C4 delivers an outlet pressure of 70 bar (1,015 psi), allowing lubricant to be transported over longer distances and reaching lubrication points that cannot be fitted with a lubricator nearby. In combination with Schaeffler's OPTIME app (available in the Apple App Store and on Google Play), the FAG OPTIME C 4 ensures that incorrect lubrication can be safely avoided, whether caused by too much or too little lubricant, the wrong lubricant, contamination, clogged lubricant lines, or empty cartridges. Schaeffler's OPTime Ecosystem comprises a range of solutions for condition monitoring and smart lubrication. In late 2021, the portfolio was expanded with the introduction of the OPTIME C1 lubricator, enabling smart lubrication management for the first time. The new FAG OPTIME C4 now adds an even more flexible and powerful option to the lineup. Solutions within the OPTIME Ecosystem are cost-efficient, wireless, app-controlled, scalable, and suitable for a wide variety of drive systems. The FAG OPTIMEC4 will be available to order starting September 25, 2025, in most countries across Europe, North and South America, and the Asia-Pacific region. 공시 • Aug 16

Schaeffler AG Develops Next-Generation Bipolar Plates for Fuel Cell Drives Schaeffler AG is demonstrating its development capabilities in the field of hydrogen-powered mobility with a new generation of metallic bipolar plates for PEM fuel cells. All fuel cell systems rely on bipolar plates. But the plates developed by Schaeffler feature a new design optimized for large-series production and leverage an innovative coating process for long fuel cell life. Moreover, stacks made using the new Schaeffler plates achieve a power density about 20% greater than that of stacks made using previous-generation plates. At a purpose-built pilot production facility in Herzogenaurach, the company is now manufacturing the new plates in runs of up to several tens of thousands of units for use by international vehicle manufacturers in prototype and small-series production. Schaeffler is due to start production of bipolar plates under the name of Innoplate, a joint venture with Symbio, in Haguenau, France, at the start of 2024. To the untrained eye, bipolar plates aren't much to look at, being only about the size of a DIN A4 envelope and weighing just 60 grams. But they are core components of fuel cells, where they perform a number of vital functions, including providing channels both for the separation and distribution of the process gasses and coolant and for the removal of the water resulting from the chemical reaction. For vehicle applications, several hundred of these plates are layered on top of one another, each separated by a membrane electrode assembly (MEA), to form a stack. The plates account for up to 80% of the stack’s weight, and up to 65% of its volume. Stacks comprising up to 400 of these cell units have a total power output of up to 140 kW – enough for light commercial vehicles. Heavy commercial vehicles up to 40 tons generally require two stacks. Schaeffler’s new generation of bipolar plates is also designed from the ground up for industrialization at large scale – an approach known as design for manufacturing (DFM). The aim is to achieve a level of cost-effectiveness and scalability of manufacturing sufficient for hydrogen-powered mobility to reach market breakthrough. In terms of production, the company is leveraging its many years of experience and expertise in metal stamping and forming, and has achieved the high level of precision needed to stamp the necessary ultrafine structures on the surface of the plates, which have a thickness of only 50 to 100 micrometers. Another unique feature of the metallic bipolar plates made by Schaeffler is the coating system used. The purpose of coatings is to maintain a high level of electrical conductivity over the fuel cell’s entire service life. Schaeffler’s solution is “Enertect” – a family of high-performance coating systems developed specifically for bipolar plates. Depending on the customer’s requirements, the coatings can be engineered for maximum plate service life, minimum carbon footprint, or an optimized price-performance ratio.
