As the foundation of all industrial applications, the business of bearings is one of continuous improvement. From the design of components such as the roller and cage features, to surface finishing, to sizing; the intricacies of a bearing are many
and varied.
Schaeffler Australia is a company that focusses on honing the design and technology for each line of products they supply. The drive to improve their products and having ownership over engineering decisions is what inspired the launch of X-life series, with the bearing series recently passing the ten-year mark.
As engineering and quality manager for Schaeffler Australia, it is Andreas Pieper’s job to promote the X-life series in Australia. Andreas recently highlighted the history of X-life developments in a training presentation he delivered to suppliers across Australia, including the team at CBC, getting them up to speed on the latest technology and developments.
