Electrification, Mecatronics, and Actuator Technologies Being Explored by Schaeffler at CES

Schaeffler, a global leader in the field of motion technology, is gearing up for a return to CES 2024. The company will once again grace the Las Vegas Convention Center, this time at the Central Plaza, booth CP-15, from January 9-12.

Over the past 75 years, Schaeffler has been at the forefront of advancements in motion technology. This year, the company will demonstrate its commitment to innovation and the development of cutting-edge technologies through an extensive exhibit. The focus will be on electrification, battery technologies, and mechatronics.

Electrification and Battery Technologies

Schaeffler will showcase optimally designed electric axles, advanced electric motors, and an e-drive system at CES 2024. These components are integral parts of Schaeffler's family of electric powertrain systems and components for various vehicles, including passenger cars and commercial vehicles.

The exhibit will also feature battery packs as part of a medium-duty truck demonstrator. Schaeffler's battery packs are designed to optimize efficiency and space, making them an ideal choice for electric vehicles.

Mechatronics Applications

Schaeffler's exhibit will highlight its range of mechatronics applications for various industries. One such application is the Ride Height Actuator (RHA), a groundbreaking innovation in actuator technologies.

The RHA, developed by Schaeffler, is regarded as a significant advancement in actuator technology. It optimizes drivetrain performance for every driving situation, offering features like easy ingress and easy exit, and speed-dependent vehicle lifting/lowering for battery electric vehicle range extension.

The RHA will be demonstrated on an electric light-duty truck, where it will optimize powertrain performance for every driving scenario.

Schaeffler's e-drive System

Schaeffler's e-drive system will be showcased in FlyNow's eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-off and Landing) aerial drone. This partnership underscores Schaeffler's commitment to electrification and its ability to adapt its technologies to various industries.

Schaeffler's CASM-series Electromechanical Actuator

Schaeffler's CASM-series electromechanical actuator is an energy-efficient alternative to hydraulic cylinders for agricultural and construction equipment. This innovation offers a more sustainable solution for these industries, reducing energy consumption and increasing efficiency.

Schaeffler's RT1-T Torque-Sensing Strain Wave Gear Unit

Schaeffler's RT1-T torque-sensing strain wave gear unit features integrated microelectronics, embedded AI, and proprietary Sensotect coating. This gear unit is designed for applications in cobot, humanoid robot, and medical-surgical robotics fields, offering precision and reliability in these demanding environments.

Schaeffler's Mobile Showroom

Following CES 2024, Schaeffler's mobile showroom trailer will tour North America. This mobile showroom serves as an extension of the company's commitment to innovation and the development of cutting-edge technologies. The content can be customized for each audience to ensure the applicable information is shared.

In conclusion, Schaeffler's return to CES 2024 promises to be an exciting event, showcasing the company's advancements in motion technology, electrification, and mechatronics. Visitors can expect to see Schaeffler's innovative solutions in action, from electric powertrain systems to the Ride Height Actuator, and gain insights into the company's vision for a sustainable and technologically advanced future.
