Strength verification according to standard and FKM
Nominal stress-based and local strength calculations
1 General description
Verifying the strength of components provides assurance that your drive system is reliable. The strength calculation, in accordance with the standard and FKM, focuses on verifying the strength of components of any geometric shape made from steel, cast iron and aluminium. Common applications include shafts, axles and 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.
