Schaeffler India has expanded its industrial product range with the launch of large-size spherical roller bearings (SRBs), cast steel housings, and accessories manufactured at its Savli facility in Gujarat.
The move strengthens the company’s localisation efforts under the “Make in India” initiative, offering heavy-duty solutions for industries such as steel, cement, mining, power generation, and pulp and paper.
The new SRBs, available in sizes up to 720 mm outer diameter across range, are built to Schaeffler’s X-life quality standards. According to the company’s statement, they offer higher load ratings, reduced friction, and longer service life.
Schaeffler has also introduced cast steel housings, adapter and withdrawal sleeves, and hydraulic sleeves designed for strength and durability in extreme operating conditions.
The housings also include advanced sealing systems, internal lubrication grooves, and provisions for vibration and temperature sensors as well as auto-lubricators, aimed at enhancing reliability and ease of maintenance.
“This launch reflects Schaeffler’s commitment to Make in India and our continued focus on manufacturing excellence combined with local engineering and research capability,” said Seshan Iyer, President – Bearings and Industrial Solutions.
The expanded portfolio positions Schaeffler as a single-window provider of motion solutions, covering bearings, housings, sealing systems, lubricants, and condition monitoring systems. These solutions are expected to support critical applications including conveyors, gearboxes, crushers, stacker reclaimers, and pulping systems.
