The correct selection, maintenance andmonitoring of rolling element bearings iscrucial to maximising the life andreliability of plant and equipment. Justselecting the bearing is not enough, itmust be mounted properly in the firstplace, have the correct type and amountof lubricant and be relubricated at theright interval. The loss of a critical piece ofplant or equipment will often result incostly lost production or downtime, soCondition Monitoring can be successfullyused to minimise disruption and hencesave costs.

The challenges facing our customers areimportant to us and the training coursesoutlined here have been structured toensure that we give our customers themaximum support possible during theinitial design process through to thesuccessful operation and monitoring oftheir plant and equipment.

As a company, we believe that flexibility iskey to the future and, in addition to thetraining modules outlined here, we canoffer bespoke courses to meet theindividual needs of our customers.

Supported by staff with many years'experience in the design and applicationof rolling bearings, our instructors canoffer expert guidance and advice bothduring and after the training course.

We look forward to seeing you at our newtraining facilities in Sutton Coldfield.

At the Schaeffler UK site in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, we have a full range of facilities to offerboth classroom based and practical hands-on experience.

If required we can also offer courses at your own premises.


The Schaeffler Group is one of theworld’s leading engineering businesses,employing about 70,000 people at 180 locations worldwide and achievingglobal sales in excess of €9.5 billion (in 2010).

The Group, which remains a family-ownedconcern, markets its products under threeworld class brands – INA, FAG and LuK.

INA was formed just after the SecondWorld War and made its big breakthroughin 1949 with the invention of the needleroller and cage assembly. This product isstill in use in its original form and the INAproduct range has been expanded toinclude ball and roller bearings, sphericalplain bearings, housed units and linearbearings and systems.

In addition to its bearing products, INAhas developed into one of the world’sforemost suppliers of automotive enginecomponents and works in partnershipwith many automotive manufacturers todevelop solutions to their requirementsfor more efficient, economical andenvironmentally friendly vehicles.

The history of FAG dates back to 1883 andthe development of a ball grinding machinewhich made it possible, for the first time, toproduce a perfectly round steel ball. In theintervening years, the FAG product rangehas expanded to include cylindrical,spherical and tapered roller bearings,angular contact and deep groove ballbearings.

The combined INA and FAG standardcatalogue now comprises over 40,000standard products for use in over 60industrial sectors ranging from powertransmission, mechanical handling,construction, mining and quarrying, steeland paper to automotive and aerospace.

Support for these industries is provided bySchaeffler's Industrial Aftermarket Division(IAM) which develops and supplies a widerange of online and offline conditionmonitoring equipment designed to providewarnings of potential problems and tominimise unplanned plant and machineryshutdowns. IAM also supplies a wide rangeof specially developed maintenance toolsand equipment.

The Schaeffler Group maintains its leadingedge by constantly developing products tomeet the specific needs of its customers.

To this end more than 5000 staffworldwide are directly involved inresearch and development, and, onaverage, their efforts result in over 1200patent registrations per year.

Schaeffler UK, located at Sutton Coldfieldin the West Midlands, is the headquartersfor all sales, marketing, engineering andlogistics for both the INA and FAG brandsin the UK.

In-house application and designengineers work with carefully selecteddistributors and direct with end users todeliver the best engineered and mostcost effective solutions to each individualrequirement.

In addition, Schaeffler UK operates amanufacturing plant in Llanelli in SouthWales, which is a world class facility forthe production of mechanical tappets forthe automotive industry.

The plant also operates a ‘Linear QuickCentre’ and provides refurbishmentservices for industry.

Together we move the world
