Topics Divided into Three Pillars
The virtual factory hall contains three pillars, which represent the main topics of the Mounting Toolbox: Mounting / dismounting, aligning, and lubrication. The subtopics are displayed as drawers in the pillars and can be opened by clicking with the mouse. These contain the tools and fitting aids that are shown in the videos. The user is also given an insight into the different mounting methods, as well as general safety guidelines and preparations.
Videos Show the Mounting Experts in Action
To view the videos and get an insight into professional mounting, simply click on the camera symbol on the relevant pillar. The pillars will then disappear and five machines will appear in their place. By clicking on one of the machines, the user can zoom in on it and view the rolling bearings it contains. The experts show how these bearings are fitted and dismantled in short film sequences.
Get the Information You Need, Quickly
Internet access is all you need to access the virtual factory hall and learn more about real rolling bearing mounting. The topics are displayed in the form of pillars, drawers, and machines, so everything is structured clearly. An additional navigation option provides a quick overview of all topics at a glance. The website also includes additional information, such as the range of training courses available at Schaeffler and how to contact the Schaeffler mounting service. The Mounting Toolbox is currently available in German, English and Russian. Spanish, Portuguese, French, and Chinese versions are in progress and will be put online once completed.
