Component strength of your application

The core competency of the professorship is the experimental determination of component strength of rotationally symmetric components. Determination of the sustainable dynamic loads is carried out either on components with free surfaces (e.g. notched shafts) or on contact-loaded specimens (connections) in 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.

We can offer special expertise based on 25 years of experimental experience in the field of shaft-hub connections. These include press connections, conical press connections, key connections, polygon connections, and knurled press connections.

Other applications can be tested with regard to component strength under tensile, compressive, or bending loads. In past projects, components such as worm wheels, screws, connecting rods, levers, and many more have already been tested.

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

A suitable solution is determined individually in consultation with the customer.
