About Schaeffler AG

Schaeffler supplies bearings, linear motion, gearboxes, sensors, control electronics and integrated rotary and linear actuators for robotics and industrial automation.

Its humanoid business spans components, factory use and industrialisation services. A January 2026 agreement makes Schaeffler a preferred actuator supplier for Humanoid's wheeled systems and covers several hundred robots for Schaeffler's factories over five years. Schaeffler's strain-wave actuator integrates gearing for upper-body joints, while its planetary platform combines a gearbox, motor, encoder and controller for continuous-duty joint motion.
