The new FAG SNS plummer block housing from Schaeffler increases the operating life of the fitted spherical roller bearings by up to 50 percent compared to conventional plummer block housings.
This is made possible by the new housing design, which ensures optimum load distribution in the bearing.

Gildemeister, a leading global manufacturer of cutting machine tools, which has a wide range of innovative high-tech machines, services and software solutions, has named Schaeffler as "Supplier of the Year" for
2012. Robert Schullan, Member of the Executive Board at Schaeffler AG and President of Schaeffler Industrial, accepted the award from Timo Rickermann, Head of Corporate Purchasing at Gildemeister AG, in
Pfronten.

Actually, the preceding generation of the RED POWER V-belt has already been the non-plus-ultra of technology. However now, we have considerably optimised the new generationof high performance wedge belts and  kraftbands. The results are astonishing: up to 50 % more power compared to standard V-belts, and cost reductions of up to 35 % at the same time.
These significant results are due to optimised production processes and continuous refinements of the basic products involved. Cost reductions are achieved via fewer belts,
smaller pulleys and more compact drive designs.

Further advantages::
• Up to 50 % better performance (compared to standard V-belts)
• Maintenance-free
• Up to 97 % efficiency
• Antistatic according to ISO 1813, compatible with ATEX
• Suitable for back bend idlers
• S=C manufactured for set matching, always at nominal size
• Longer operational life

The list of application examples goes on and on because the Optibelt RED  POWER 3 is available in length ranges from 1200 mm to 12 000 mm.
