About Schaeffler

Schaeffler is a German family-controlled motion-technology group — bearings, drivetrain and chassis systems under the Schaeffler, INA, FAG and LuK brands — that has made robot components, and humanoid-robot actuation in particular, a strategic growth field. Its humanoid portfolio spans eight product families, centred on integrated joint actuators: the planetary gear actuator premiered at CES 2026 combines a two-stage planetary gearbox, electric motor, encoder and controller in one compact unit with a torque range of 60 to 250 Nm, aimed at the shoulders, hips and knees of humanoid robots, of which a typical machine needs 25 to 30 actuators. A companion strain-wave (harmonic) actuator line covers precision joints such as elbows, and the range extends to roller bearings, linear actuators, sensors and battery and thermal management.

In April 2026 Schaeffler announced a strategic partnership with Hexagon Robotics covering actuator supply and a plan to deploy at least 1,000 AEON humanoid robots across its own production network within seven years (company-stated); it also supplies or works with other humanoid makers, including NEURA Robotics, Humanoid and Agility Robotics. All actuator components are manufactured in-house, positioning Schaeffler as a volume component partner for robot OEMs.

GlobleMatch Trust Signals

A directory that doesn’t sell stars. Trust Signals are built only from verifiable facts — never from anonymous ratings, and never for sale. There is no single hidden score.

Public information coverage	9 of 9 fields on the standard profile could be filled from public sources. This counts how much public information exists about the company — not how good the company is. The nine fields are listed in the methodology. Claiming the profile lets the company complete the remaining fields itself.
Last verified	6 November 2026 — facts on this profile were checked against the sources listed below. Profiles are re-checked on a published 90-day cycle; this date is never quietly refreshed.

Claim this profile to unlock response record, directory tenure and peer endorsements. The full methodology — what each signal measures and how it is calculated — is published in the Trust Signals methodology, including a change log.
