Schaeffler Technologies GmbH & Co. KG

The Schaeffler Group with its product brands INA, FAG and LuK is a leading manufacturer of rolling bearings and linear products as well as a renowned supplier to the automotive industry of high-precision products and systems for engines, transmissions and chassis applications.

The Schaeffler Group has developed a Train Support System based on a generator sensor bearing. The TSS is based on an FAG axlebox bearing that can be used with an integrated generator sensor unit as an independent energy source, for example, in freight cars. Comparable with a dynamo, the generator sensor bearing induces the electrical power required through the rotary motion of the permanent magnets arranged on the wheel axle.
