Metallurgical production and processing
Steel is the basic material in a modern industrial society and a standard of its development. It is widely used in all important branches of industry: transportation, mechanical engineering, steel construction, and energy/environmental technology. The Schaeffler Group collaborates with well-known manufacturers and operators to develop rolling bearings for the steel industry. The extreme demands and widely varied operating conditions present a challenge for man and machine. The tailor-made FAG rolling bearings have proven themselves even in the most critical applications, ensuring maximum system availability thanks to their quality.
