Component strength of your application

The professorship's core competency is the experimental determination of the strength of rotationally symmetric components. The sustainable dynamic loads are determined either on components with free surfaces (e.g. notched shafts) or on contact-loaded specimens (connections), within the finite life, infinite life and operational fatigue strength ranges. With our self-developed test rigs, we can represent nearly any application case for the typical load types torsion and rotating bending.

Drawing on 25 years of experimental experience in the field of shaft-hub connections, we can offer specialised expertise. This includes press connections, conical press connections, key connections, polygon connections and knurled press connections.

We can also test other applications with regard to component strength under tensile, compressive or bending loads. Past projects have involved testing components such as worm wheels, screws, connecting rods, levers and many more.

The testable geometries depend on the load limits of the test rig and the clamping situation. At the institute, the dimensions of the test geometries used are in the range Ø40–Ø110 mm, depending on the load type and combination.

A suitable solution is determined in consultation with the customer.
