FVA Info Conference

The FVA Infotagung is all about innovative drive technology. The technical trade event from the Forschungsvereinigung Antriebstechnik e. V. (Drive Technology Research Association) is the world’s most successful and largest research and innovation network in the industry. With its attractive conference program, in particular, it acts as an important link between industry and research. Thus, in addition to the latest reports on the FVA’s research projects and initiatives, the focus is also on future scenarios for drive technology and technology trends.

In this innovative environment, the experts from Freudenberg Sealing Technologies (FST) will also be demonstrating their expertise and materials expertise. Industrial drive technology calls for special sealing solutions that can cope with constantly rising speed, internal pressure and temperature requirements. FST’s innovations thus ensure an extended life cycle for industrial gear units thanks to customized solutions and top material quality. This goal is also pursued by FST’s own Global Simmerring Engineering department. Here, the experts take a holistic view of the sealing system and examine the interaction of all components involved (seal, surface and lubricant) in order to find the optimal sealing solution for every specific application – both in advance and after a damage/failure of the tribological system. Using the latest testing and measurement technology, analysis and evaluation procedures allow detailed statements to be made about the condition of all components of the sealing system. From the results of these analyses, the experts derive a hypothesis of the possible causes of failure and then verify this by either performing the appropriate tests or by way of simulations. The results are in-depth findings that lead to specific recommendations for action to optimize the sealing system – for an improved sealing function and a significantly longer service life.
