Since the beginning of the year, Schaeffler said it has provided its customers with a CO₂e emissions calculator. The company said all that is required is the input of load and speed data in the online product catalog “Schaeffler medias.”
Schaeffler explained that to achieve its climate targets, companies require transparency regarding the CO₂ emissions created by supplier products. Schaeffler now provides this information for the majority of its rolling bearing product portfolio.
Based on these emission values, customers can make data-based investment decisions, which are in line with their sustainability targets.
link hidden, please login to view said it displays the emissions in so-called carbon dioxide equivalents, abbreviated as CO₂e, as a metric measure used to compare the emissions of various greenhouse gases based on their global-warming potential (GWP). Since the beginning of 2025, the calculator in the digital product catalog “Schaeffler medias” has not just offered the option of calculating the production-related CO₂e emissions at individual bearing level. It also shows the emissions caused by friction losses in the bearing during the utilization phase.
“Our customers can now find out quickly and simply how many CO₂e emissions are produced by the operation of a rolling bearing in their application – and therefore how the selection of a bearing with optimized friction behavior has an impact on the operating costs in quantitative terms,” explained André Schade, sustainability coordinator for product development in R&D at Schaeffler Bearings & Industrial Solutions.
Relevance for all industrial sectors
Because this information can be found directly in the product catalog, customers who are registered with “Schaeffler medias” can select their desired products as usual. They also have the option of defining the planned application based on several load cases. To receive informative values on CO₂e emissions during the use phase, all that is required is the input of load and speed data for the application. This allows for instance a comparison between friction-optimized and standard bearings,

Schaeffler added that customers can delve deeper into this topic on the platform “

The platform also features direct links to Schaeffler’s solutions in the fields of mounting (assembly, fitting) and lubrication, as well as a link to a tool, which shows how the production in many sectors can be made more sustainable using Schaeffler products, the company said.

While the freeze factor is usually the first consideration at the start of winter, few consider the corrosive inhibitors and lubricants that become depleted, promoting water pump failure. In addition, the accumulation of engine and radiator deposits can affect engine cooling. Coolant exchangers are highly recommended […]

link hidden, please login to view announced the new AdvanTEK 40 Pro axle system, the next evolution of its 40,000-lb. 6×4 tandem axle system. Designed to meet evolving commercial vehicle fleet requirements with increased efficiency and enhanced overall productivity, the AdvanTEK 40 Pro axle system includes the fastest axle ratio at 2.05 for advanced engine downspeeding, the company said. “The new AdvanTEK 40 Pro axle system is a testament to our focus on developing high-performance solutions that deliver tangible benefits for today’s professional fleets,” said Brian Pour, senior vice president and president of commercial vehicle drive and motion systems at Dana. “Advanced design features ensure the ideal balance of efficiency and durability with package flexibility to adapt to unique operational demands.”
Engineered with innovative component technologies, according to
link hidden, please login to view, the AdvanTEK 40 Pro axle system includes a range of design features that offer a marked progression in tandem axle design, providing fleets with a 6×4 system that enhances vehicle longevity and performance. Key features and benefits of the new system include:
Broad ratio range with 18 total axle ratios, including the fastest at 2.05, enhances compatibility with downsped powertrains for more efficient performance; High-capacity bearing system enabling fast ratios and increased torque throughout the system; Higher weight-capacity design enables fleets to haul more payload for improved productivity; Inter-axle differential (IAD) equipped with advanced coatings to better retain lubricant, offering superior protection and extending the life of the drivetrain; Driver-controlled differential locking in either forward or rear axle allows the driver to enable locking based on the traction requirements, providing added flexibility; and Optional lubrication pump circulates lube in critical areas of the IAD during extreme conditions. The AdvanTEK 40 Pro axle system will be available for ordering in select original equipment manufacturer (OEM) 2025 data books, Dana said.
