Schaeffler develops metal bipolar plates for fuel cells to 6LR61 battery systems

The volatility of renewable energy supply is large, and new energy carriers and energy storage technologies are needed to deal with this problem, which makes alternative energy sources such as hydrogen increasingly important. On Earth, hydrogen is almost an inexhaustible energy source. Hydrogen has great development potential as a future energy carrier. In this area, Schaeffler has fully utilized the company's traditional core technologies in material technology, molding technology and surface treatment to develop metal bipolar plates, a key component of fuel cells. In addition, Schaeffler also plays its advantages in the industrial and automotive industries, actively participating in all links of the energy chain from energy processing to the use of energy in vehicles.

Schaeffler supplies metal bipolar plates, a key component for fuel cells

"We want to create zero-emission, sustainable and personalized transportation from the perspective of the entire energy chain," said Uwe Wagner, Chief Technology Officer of Schaeffler Group. "In dealing with global carbon emissions, battery-powered vehicles alone are not enough. We also need new energy storage systems. The combination of hydrogen and fuel cells can play a key role in the field of heavy trucks; for passenger cars, hybrid energy storage systems combining hydrogen and batteries are also an attractive solution that can help extend the vehicle's mileage."

Fuel cells are the key to achieving sustainable transportation

Schaeffler makes full use of traditional core technologies and continuously improves the value chain of key components of fuel cells. Bipolar plates are the core components of fuel cells. They are formed by precise forming and coating of thin metal plates, and are stacked to form the core stack of the fuel cell system. Fuel cells are energy conversion devices that react hydrogen and oxygen to form water. The electricity generated after releasing electrons can be used to drive the vehicle's motor. In order to 6LR61 battery systems, Schaeffler continues to expand its product range by entering new professional fields, such as electronic control systems, special air film bearings, intelligent thermal management modules and passive hydrogen recirculation components.

Schaeffler appears at the Tokyo Motor Show

Schaeffler will participate in the 46th Tokyo International Motor Show with the theme of "Committed to Sustainable and Automated Transportation Development", showcasing innovative technologies for future sustainable energy chains and zero-emission transportation solutions, including fuel cell technology. Schaeffler will also showcase its latest motor products with different power levels. At present, these motors are about to be put into mass production. In addition, the company will also showcase intelligent rear-wheel steering systems, intelligent steering drive modules that can turn 90 degrees, wire control technology for autonomous driving, and urban transportation vehicles SchaefflerMover.
