Chassis and Body
We design advanced chassis and body technologies that elevate comfort and safety, enabling next-level autonomous platforms and a superior driving experience.
Linear actuator-based chassis technology that actively steers the rear wheels to improve vehicle agility at low speeds and stability at higher speeds. Compact actuation, high force output and precise positioning deliver a more dynamic and efficient driving experience across multiple powertrain types.
Compact brushless direct current (BLDC) motor converts electrical energy into mechanical motion for a wide range of automotive and industrial applications. Features high power density, compact design and low maintenance (due to brushless operation).
Linear inductive position sensor designed for rear-wheel steering systems. Magnet-free, it delivers high measurement accuracy to ensure precise chassis control, robust non-contact operation and reliable performance under harsh automotive conditions.
Electromechanical device that replaces the mechanical link between the steering wheel and steering gear in steer-by-wire systems. Generates precise, controlled haptic forces to deliver realistic, configurable steering feel.
Electromechanical component that dynamically adjusts a vehicle’s ride height while in motion. Lower-cost alternative to traditional pneumatic air suspension systems, it offers precise height adjustment, improved comfort and vehicle dynamics, and support for adaptive chassis systems.
Sensing system that enables users to open and close vehicle trunks, frunks and powered doors using a simple foot motion. Offers convenient contactless operation, reliable detection and robust integration into vehicle access systems for improved comfort and everyday usability.
Fully active chassis and suspension technology that provides active force to vehicle dampers. Reduces vehicle body vibrations while improving ride comfort and handling dynamics for a superior driving experience.
Schaeffler supports steer-by-wire technology with key components such as sensors, actuators and control units that replace or reduce mechanical steering links and enable fully electronic steering control.
