Schaeffler at CES 2026: Technologies that move the future
From January 6 to 9, CES 2026 is opening its doors again in Las Vegas – a mecca for tech enthusiasts, startups, and industry giants alike. From an insignificant audio, television, and HiFi exhibition, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) has evolved into a worldwide leader among tech shows since 1967 – providing an ideal stage for Schaeffler to present innovative motion technologies.
This is what Schaeffler is showcasing at CES 2026
Clever production and use of energy
Energy is the currency of the future. From wind power farms to data centers – at CES, Schaeffler is showing how smart motion technologies, bearings and drives, help produce and use electric power in more intelligent ways.
Smart factories, automated material flow
Factories are picking up speed, flexibility, and autonomy. Schaeffler connects mechanical precision, sensors, and smart drives to make manufacturing processes run reliably and moving materials automatically without the flick of a wrist.
Robots with motive and mental skills
Humanoid robots can grip, run, and respond. Schaeffler supplies the precision drives, sensors, and actuators that give robotic motion a human quality. The next generation of robots is in the process of changing industry, research, and everyday life.
Automobiles turn into software platforms
The car of tomorrow will be a computer on wheels. Schaeffler is showing how smart control units, innovative chassis, and powertrain solutions are enhancing the agility, safety, and personalization of passenger cars and commercial vehicles.
"CES is the leading fair for breakthrough technologies. As a pioneer in motion technology, Schaeffler is the partner of choice when it comes to enabling innovations and thus shape the industry of the future. At CES 2026, we are demonstrating how our advanced solutions are accelerating the digital transformation of key industries by seamlessly combining mechanical excellence with digital intelligence."
