The History of Schaeffler Smart Maintenance Tools
Schaeffler — Over 75 Years of Engineering Excellence
Founded in 1946 in Herzogenaurach, Germany, the Schaeffler Group has become one of the world's leading automotive and industrial technology companies. Renowned for its expertise in rolling bearings, plain bearings, linear motion technology, and precision-engineered components, Schaeffler serves customers across virtually every industrial sector worldwide.
With globally recognised brands such as INA, FAG, and LuK, Schaeffler has built a reputation for engineering innovation, product quality, and reliability for more than 75 years.
The Origins of Schaeffler Smart Maintenance Tools
The history of today's Schaeffler Smart Maintenance Tools began in 1978, when Bega International B.V. was established in Vaassen, the Netherlands, by Bernard Garritsen. The company name "Bega" was derived from the founder's name, while its mission was to develop specialised tools that enable the safe, efficient, and cost-effective mounting and dismounting of bearings and drive components.
To support this mission, Bega introduced the BETEX® product brand, which quickly became recognised worldwide for its professional induction heaters, pullers, bearing fitting tools, and maintenance equipment. From its headquarters in the Netherlands, the company expanded internationally, supplying maintenance solutions to industries around the globe.
Joining the Schaeffler Group
In July 2021, Bega International became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Schaeffler Group, combining decades of specialised maintenance tool expertise with Schaeffler's extensive engineering knowledge, global manufacturing capabilities, and worldwide distribution network.
In October 2023, the product range became part of Schaeffler's Lifetime Solutions business area and was officially reintroduced worldwide as Schaeffler Smart Maintenance Tools. While the overall product portfolio now carries the Schaeffler name, the well-established BETEX® brand continues as the product brand for many of the maintenance tools, preserving its strong reputation among maintenance professionals.
Why It Matters
Today, Schaeffler Smart Maintenance Tools combine the specialist engineering heritage of BETEX with the global resources, technical expertise, and quality standards of the Schaeffler Group. The result is a comprehensive range of maintenance solutions that help engineers install and remove bearings and power transmission components safely, accurately, and efficiently—reducing downtime, extending equipment life, and improving maintenance reliability across a wide range of industries.

The Quality Behind Every Schaeffler Maintenance Tool
Schaeffler Smart Maintenance Tools are engineered and manufactured to the highest professional standards, ensuring safe and reliable operation in demanding industrial environments. The product range complies with relevant international standards, including CE and IEC requirements, and is supported by certifications such as TÜV and CSA where applicable.
As part of the Schaeffler Group, these tools benefit from group-wide engineering expertise, rigorous testing procedures, and a comprehensive quality management system applied consistently across all product lines. This ensures dependable performance, long service life, and consistent quality in every tool supplied worldwide.
CE and IEC Compliant, TÜV and CSA Certified
Every Schaeffler induction heater in the BETEX product line is designed and manufactured to comply with CE and IEC standards, and is certified by TÜV and CSA for use in North America. This ensures that each product meets strict international safety, performance, and quality requirements before reaching your workshop.
Automatic Demagnetisation as Standard
All Schaeffler induction heaters feature automatic demagnetisation at the end of each heating cycle. Residual magnetism in bearings can lead to increased wear, noise, and premature failure. This risk is eliminated as a standard integrated function—no additional options required.
Engineered for Demanding Industrial Environments
Schaeffler Smart Maintenance Tools are designed for professional use in maintenance and production environments across OEM and MRO industries. The range is widely used in sectors such as wind energy, rail, mining, and steel manufacturing. Every product is built with robust construction, ergonomic design, and intuitive operation to support daily industrial use.
Precision Temperature Control
The SMART series induction heaters feature advanced dual temperature measurement (Delta-T) using two magnetic sensors, along with touchscreen control and integrated data logging. This ensures bearings are heated precisely to the required temperature—neither over-heated nor under-heated—while providing a full digital record of each heating cycle for quality assurance and traceability.
Self-Centering Safety Design
Hydraulic pullers within the range are equipped with self-centering arms that move in perfect synchronisation, reducing the risk of slippage or misalignment during operation. Integrated safety relief valves prevent overloading, ensuring safe operation while protecting both the operator and the components being serviced.
