With the right locking assembly connection:
Save costs, energy & CO₂
Optimally designed clamping connections reduce weight and energy consumption and increase operational reliability. Real-world examples from material handling, wind power, and heavy industry illustrate the technical and economic implications.
Here's what the informational session is about
Choosing the right clamping system is critical to the cost, service life, and carbon footprint of machines and equipment. Learn how to properly select, design, and use clamping system connections to ensure cost-effective operation.
Fundamentals of locking assembly connections
How positive-lock shaft-hub connections work and what role friction, surface pressure, and tapered press fits play.
Overview of various clamping systems
Internal clamping systems, traditional clamping sets, and shrink discs, as well as their typical applications in a compact format Overview.
Stresses & selection criteria
What loads act on clamping connections and what factors to consider during selection and design.
Case studies & MDESIGN 2026
Applications in industry and material handling, as well as an introduction to calculations and FEA analyses using MDESIGN 2026.
