Durable, reliable and with high accuracy
We offer bearing systems for the entire “textile chain” –
you will find high-precision machine elements from the
INA and FAG brands in all textile manufacturing processes.
Whether for rotary or linear applications – with our products
you can always count on special advantages such as high precision, low
friction, simple installation and low maintenance requirements. With Schaeffler bearing supports for
textile machines you gain from the extra benefits they provide in terms of reliability and long operating life.
Increased efficiency for texturing machines
We offer reduced mass moment of inertia in individual components, low friction, high take-up speeds of up to 1500 m/min, no resonance at operating speed and high reliability.
You benefit from high quality and cost-effective manufacturing of filament yarns.
Increased weft insertion rates in weaving machines
We offer precise movements at high shock loads, high rigidity, precision and reliability.
You benefit from lower thread breakage rates, uniform fabric texture and high weft insertion rates.
More precision for knitting machines
We offer high speeds (3,500 rpm), rigidity and high precision, high swivel frequencies and smoothness of running.
You benefit from precise movements for first-class knitted fabrics 4 to 6 meters wide, the ability to work a very wide range of yarns and even films, as well as high manufacturing output with a wide variety of patterns.
... But we go a step further: Real development partnership!
As a Schaeffler customer, you can count on receiving the best-possible product for every applica-tion. Close partnerships with textile machine manufacturers mean that INA and FAG’s product range really thrives, since we continuously develop existing products and shared ideas are used as the basis for new products.

Rolling bearing calculation
Bearinx® enables users to calculate, display and document specific bearing loads in detail while taking operating and environmental conditions into con- sideration – even for complex machine systems. For example, we used the rotor dynamic tool from Bearinx® in the development of a chuck shaft to calculate the vibration behavior of the chuck. The benefit for our customer: A mea-surable decrease in the number of tests required, which led to a reduction in development costs.

Extend the operating life: Surface coatings in textile machinery
Surface coating
Modern coating systems, which are often developed by Schaeffler and tested in- house in our test-ing centers, contribute to extending the life of our products and ensuring they function safely. Sur-face coatings influence the running-in behavior and emergency running characteristics
of bearings. They improve corrosion protection and optimize the wear and friction behavior.
Our engineering teams across the world provide support to customers in all phases of product de-velopment and offer assistance with selecting the right bearing for your application.
For more energy efficiency: Low-friction rolling bearings …
Textile machines demand innovative and cost-effective solutions that often cannot be realized using standard bearings. This is why we offer system components from INA and FAG as complete systems that are perfectly matched to the application in question.
The following selection of products provides an initial overview of what we offer. You will find information about our product range and technical details in our publication TMB.
• Radial ball bearing units for texturing machines: A reliable and cost-effective solution – low friction, smooth running, easy to install and with effective seals.
• Friction spindle bearings for texturing units: Precise running without resonance in a broad super-critical work range; ready-to-fit solution, no adjustment required and protected from corrosion by Corrotect® coating.
• Compacting rollers for texturing machines: Extremely long life due to effective seals and a relu-brication facility; the roller is set on the delivery roller by means of a pivot joint.
Comprehensive range of products: Yoke and stud type track rollers
Making texturing more cost-effective: Easy-to-fit INA radial insert ball bearing and lightweight thread guidance roller with customized surface coating
• Yoke type track rollers, for example
in lay drives: Effective support for high shocks due to thick-walled outer rings of special steel. The optimized outside surface profile protects the mating track, which leads to longer operating life of the bearings and adjacent construction.
• Cylindrical roller bearings, for example in lay drives, for locating and non-locating bearing solu-tions even with marginal lubrication and strong vibrations.
Cylindrical roller bearing with solid brass cage
• Tape tension pulleys, for OE spin boxes, for example: Durable solution with low energy require-ments; with relubrication facility and long maintenance intervals, can be balanced sepa- rately if required.
• Hybrid spindle bearings – for example for heated godets and cold overflow rollers in chemical fiber processing: durable super-precision bearings that facilitate higher speeds.
