Schaeffler presents new e-axle
At the 39th International Vienna Motor Symposium, Schaeffler is presenting highly innovative electric axle systems in parallel and coaxial designs.

Schaeffler presents new e-axle

The e-axles take into account the requirements of combustion engine, hybrid and electric vehicle drives and can be put together modularly depending on customer requirements. “We have developed a flexible e-axle configurator with which we can offer a tailor-made optimum in terms of weight, installation space and costs – to suit the varying customer-specific requirements for function, maximum speed and driving dynamics,” explains Matthias Zink, Board Member for Automotive OEM at Schaeffler.
The single-speed transmission concept shown in Vienna enables an input torque of 400 Nm despite an axial space requirement of 150 millimeters. The concept of the planetary gear design can also be transferred to parallel-axis drives. This not only reduces development time and costs, but also benefits product quality.
