Schaeffler TriFinity Wheel Bearing Provides e-Mobility Solution

Schaeffler’s TriFinity wheel bearing is a fully optimized, three-row, angular contact ball bearing that provides higher stiffness and longer service life by minimizing friction and mass.

“Generally, when we look at wheel bearings, we’re looking for solutions that provide higher load carrying capacity,” said Michael Eastman, Director of BU Wheel Modules for the Americas at Schaeffler. “We’ve been working on high-capacity density solutions for years. How can you provide more life to the bearing in a smaller package?”
