Seminar

Calculate, select, and gain a new understanding of tension-set connections

Clamping connections have become an indispensable part of modern machinery and equipment
. They enable a backlash-free, force-fit connection
between Shafts hubs—efficient, easy to install, and high-performance. In this seminar
, designers and engineers will gain a practical overview of the design,
function, and sizing of various clamping systems.

In addition to the technical fundamentals, you will learn about different types of clamping systems,
their areas of application, and key selection and calculation criteria.
The seminar is supplemented by insights into FEA analyses, failure cases, and
practical applications from various industries.

Here are the topics you can expect…

Fundamentals of Friction-Fit Joints

An introduction to frictional engagement, friction, and the operating principles of modern clamping systems as the basis for secure Shaft.

Clamping System Types & Design

Overview of various clamping systems and how to select them, taking into account loads, materials, and safety factors.

Calculation & FEA

Practical insights into Shafts and hub calculations, notch effects, and FE analyses under
real-world loads.

Practical Applications & Claims

Real-world industrial applications as well as typical damage patterns such as fretting corrosion, overload, and shaft breakage.
