Pune – When it comes to industrial heavyweights like steel plants, cement kilns, and mining rigs, you don’t just need bearings—you need bear-ings. And Schaeffler India has just delivered, literally rolling out a new line of Made-in-India large-size Spherical Roller Bearings (SRBs), Cast Steel Housings, and accessories from its advanced Savli, Gujarat facility.
With diameters stretching up to a whopping 720 mm (roughly the size of an XL pizza, but far less delicious), these X-life standard SRBs are built for serious duty. Think higher load ratings, longer service life, reduced friction, and reliability levels that might make your old fan motor feel inadequate.
The expansion is no small feat. Targeting industries like steel, cement, mining, power, and pulp & paper, Schaeffler’s latest move equips India’s heavy industry with stronger, smarter, and proudly localized motion solutions. From conveyor belts to crushers, and from stacker reclaimers to pulping systems, these bearings are ready to shoulder the load—quite literally.
Complementing the new bearings are large-size Cast Steel Housings with bells and whistles that would make even a Swiss watch envious. Features like advanced sealing, lubrication grooves, sensor-mounting provisions, and auto-lubricators ensure these housings are as brainy as they are brawny. And because Schaeffler isn’t one to leave customers half-bear-ing (pun intended), the portfolio also includes adapter, withdrawal, and hydraulic sleeves—making it a complete one-stop solution.
Seshan Iyer, President – Bearings and Industrial Solutions at Schaeffler India, summed it up best:
“This launch reflects Schaeffler’s commitment to Make-in-India and our drive to blend global expertise with local capability. By localizing these critical components, we’re ensuring solutions that are faster, more economical, and better suited to the unique demands of Indian industry.”
In a world where downtime equals disaster, Schaeffler’s expanded industrial portfolio promises to keep the wheels of India’s heavy industries turning—smoothly, efficiently, and without drama. Or in simpler terms: these new bearings aren’t just rolling, they’re rocking.
