Construction machinery requires equipment with high load-carrying capacity to ensure efficient execution of engineering projects. To achieve and safeguard this level of efficiency, construction machinery manufacturers expect their suppliers to provide appropriate solutions. Schaeffler's rolling bearings and plain bearings play an important role in various construction machines worldwide, thanks to their excellent performance. The INA and FAG products used are characterized by high power density, long service life and, in many applications, maintenance-free bearing solutions.

Wide application fields and a wide variety of requirements call for a broad bearing product range and extensive application experience: from wheel loaders with environmentally friendly solutions, to mobile cranes with easy-to-assemble solutions, to vibrating machinery with bearings that withstand extreme dynamic loads. The following are a few application examples that illustrate the breadth of Schaeffler's solution options and application experience:

● Mobile cranes — pulley bearings

● Wheel loaders — mast support

● Construction machinery — pivot joints

● Vibratory rollers — eccentric shaft support bearings

● Mining trucks — hub bearings

● Special construction machinery — hose reels
