Schaeffler
Schaeffler (Fort Mill, SC) introduced the TriFinity wheel bearing for large electric pickups and SUVs. The ultra-low-friction wheel hub was named a 2026 Automotive News PACE Award finalist.
Features:
- Moves from conventional two-row bearing architecture to specialized three-row design to increase load-carrying capacity and lower friction losses without compromising durability
- Combines low-friction benefits of standard ball bearings with high load-carrying capacity typically associated with tapered roller bearings
- Minimizes overall unit weight and mechanical friction losses to help maximize electric vehicle efficiency and driving range
- Engineered specifically to meet heavy axle load and durability requirements of larger electric pickups and SUVs
