Schaeffler exhibited rolling and plain bearings that are helping engineers to design more energy-efficient wind, wave and tidal turbines at the recent Start Wales Festival in Camarthen, West Wales.
At the event, which took place on 7-8 September 2010 at the National Botanical Garden, the company showcased a variety of rolling bearings and plain bearings, many of which are being used to support specific types of renewable energy systems.
Also on display was Schaeffler's new Elgotex range of INA plain bushes.
These low-friction, maintenance-free plain bushes are suitable for dry-running applications and for use in high-load, high-vibration environments.
Elgotex bushes, which feature an entwined double-layer design, are already being utilised on wind turbines and solar energy plants around the world.
Over the last few years, the company's Automotive Division has developed bearing solutions that are helping vehicle manufacturers to produce more compact, lighter vehicles, with improved fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions.
This includes components for the latest all-electric and hybrid-electric vehicles.
