Schaeffler (Humanoid Robotics)

Corporate marketactuationmanipulationCurated record

Entry covers Schaeffler Humanoid Robotics division only (actuators for humanoid robots); excludes parent automotive/industrial bearings business.

Schaeffler designs and manufactures integrated joint actuators (two-stage planetary gearbox, brushless electric motor, encoder and controller in a single compact unit) specifically engineered for humanoid robot joints. The actuator platform targets the supply-chain bottleneck in humanoid production, where actuators represent ~50% of BOM value. Schaeffler CEO confirmed engagement with ~45 humanoid OEMs globally and expects a humanoid order book in the hundreds of millions of euros by 2030. Design wins include a preferred-supplier agreement with Humanoid (thehumanoid.ai) covering 50%+ of actuator demand through 2031 (seven-digit actuator volumes) and a strategic partnership with Neura Robotics.
