The ball screw launched this time is used in the automobile steering system, featuring high efficiency and safety. Schaler provides steering solutions from components to systems, contributing to the development of vehicle electrification and intelligence. Schaeffler adheres to the localization strategy, continuously strengthening local capacity to provide customers with more competitive products. Xiangtan | February 27, 2025 | On February 21, Schaeffler held a at its manufacturing base in Xiangtan to celebrate the official production launch of ball screws for automobile steering systems. This product is used in the electric power steering system (EPS) and a core component of the steering system. The launch of this product further improves Schaeffler's ball screw production layout in China, laying a solid foundation for promoting business development better responding to local customer needs. "Whether it is an electromechanical steering system or a future wire-controlled steering system for autonomous driving, it is inseparable precision mechanical components such as ball screws. Schaeffler has nearly 20 years of mass production application experience in the ball screw field. In this regard, we fully leverage our's core capabilities in the field of precision mechanical component manufacturing to create safe and reliable ball screw products for customers." Timo Schmidt, Head of Chassis Solutions Business Unit ateffler Group's Chassis Systems Division, stated. Schaeffler's steering ball screws: Efficient, precise, and reliable The ball screw a precision component that converts rotational motion into linear motion. By using this principle, the steering system can transmit the torque of the servo motor to the steering rack, thus providing additional for steering. As a precision transmission component of the electric power steering system, Schaeffler's ball screws play a key role in achieving vehicle parking assistance, lane departure warning, different levels of autonomous driving functions, which can bring excellent steering handling, safety, and comfort to vehicles. Thanks to Schaeffler's high-precision manufacturing process, Schaler's ball screws have very high precision, can achieve small backlash, and can also achieve zero backlash design according to customer needs. Schaeffler's high-quality manufacturing ensure that products are stable and reliable, and maintenance-free throughout their entire life cycle. Schaeffler's ball screws are efficient, low in energy consumption, and have excellentH performance, which can improve vehicle economy while also bringing a quiet driving experience, which is particularly important for electric vehicles. In addition, Schaeffler's ball screws also have load-bearing capacity, which can be extended to the commercial vehicle field.
With nearly 20 years of production experience in the ball screw segment, Schaeffler has a wealth of product and production experience in the ball screw segment. As early as 2007, Schaeffler began to put ball screws for steering systems into production, becoming the first to launch automotive steering ball screws into large-scale application. Over the past 20 years, the application field of Schaeffler ball screws has been expanding, and more than100 million products have been produced globally to date. These products are not only used in automotive steering systems, but also in braking systems, engines, and transmissions, etc. 2015, Schaeffler has been putting ball screws for braking systems into production in Taicang, and the cumulative output has exceeded 50 million pieces so. Rich steering solutions: from parts to systems Over the years, Schaeffler has provided a series of parts products for car manufacturers in the field of steering such as steering system bearings, ball screws, etc. Based on the company's system knowledge and technology accumulation in the field of electromechanical integration and line control, Schaeff has continuously expanded its product range to more complex system fields. In addition to high-precision mechanical parts, Schaeffler has also developed and put into production products such as electric hydraulic steering system (e2HPS) and electromechanical integrated rear wheel steering system (RWS) for commercial vehicles. In addition, Schaeffler is also accelerating the mass process of line control steering system components and complete systems. "Ball screw is one of Schaeffler's representative products in the field of mechanical components, which fully demonstrateseffler's outstanding manufacturing capabilities and high-quality standards," said Dr. Li Peng, President of Schaeffler China Powertrain and Chassis Division. "With accelerated development of vehicle electrification and intelligence, ball screws will continue to play an important role in automotive steering and the entire chassis system. We will continue to strengthen local capacity and provide customers with more reliable and competitive products."
