Strength Verification According to Standard and FKM
Professorship Machine Elements and Product Development 

1 General description

Strength verification of components provides you with assurance of the reliability of your drive system. The strength calculation according to standard and FKM focuses on the strength verification of components of any geometric shape made from steel, cast and aluminum materials. Common applications include shafts and axles as well as shaft-hub connections.

2 Input parameters

To perform the strength verification of your component, we need various characteristic data of your system. These include, among others, the geometry of the component, material data, and loading or stress situation.

3 Calculation options

Depending on the boundary conditions of your specific application, we can suggest various calculation options for you. Depending on the conditions in your drive system, it is possible to provide verification to prevent permanent deformation or fatigue fractures. Both nominal stress-based and local calculation concepts can be used. Of particular focus are DIN 743 and the FKM guideline.

The calculation performed is provided to you fully documented in the form of a report including the safety factor or utilization ratio of your application.
