The technologies used for this are expected to deliver higher efficiency and energy yields while reducing operating and maintenance costs. Efficient storage of green energy also plays a central role to ensure it can be economically utilized at any time. Whether you rely on wind, solar, water, or alternative vehicle drives – with the Schunk Group, you have a partner full of positive energy. When it comes to generating, transmitting, and storing energy safely and efficiently, we can already offer you proven products or work with you to develop innovative solutions.

Benefit from our expertise in the energy sector

Deploy high-performance materials profitably

As a globally operating technology company, we support the energy sector in many areas with our solutions and material expertise. Operators of wind and hydroelectric power plants, for example, rely on our millions of proven carbon brushes, bearings, and shaft grounding systems. In the power plants of numerous energy providers, our carbon brushes and slip rings ensure reliable electricity production.

We are also experienced solution providers in the field of energy storage, for instance, for truck manufacturers – as development partners for bipolar plates in fuel cells or redox flow batteries, we advance fuel cell technology as an alternative drive. Our solutions help increase the profitability and efficiency of your business by minimizing maintenance and downtime. Trust in the durability of our products, perfectly matched materials, and secure, efficient power transmission and storage.

Generators

Electricity generation in wind and hydroelectric power plants often occurs under extreme conditions. Our carbon brushes, brush holder systems, shaft grounding systems, and systems for extracting brush dust withstand all weather conditions and reliably deliver top performance in both onshore and offshore areas. With our solutions, you minimize downtime, significantly reduce maintenance effort, and ensure efficiency and profitability.

Energy Storage

Stationary energy storage systems or home storage will play a crucial role in future energy supply. Our bipolar foils and bipolar plates made from graphite materials are key components for this. They impress with high corrosion resistance in the aggressive electrochemical cell and a lifespan of at least 20 years, which typically corresponds to more than 10,000 charge and discharge cycles – without significant degradation or failure.

Fuel Cells

We are innovation leaders and one of the global technology frontrunners in graphite bipolar plates and graphite electrodes for fuel cells. We are fully committed to this future technology, continually expanding our production capacities and consistently improving our materials. After all, the corrosive and humid conditions of a fuel cell place the highest demands on the performance of our graphite materials.
