Roller bearings in the future:
Future opportunities and challenges
Design rolling bearing systems to be structurally safe, integrate AI effectively, and evaluate current developments in materials, friction, lubrication, and new failure modes in a practical manner.
That's what this seminar is about
From structurally safe bearing design to AI, materials, and efficiency issues, all the way to new applications and failure mechanisms in modern rolling bearing systems.
Design reliable bearing arrangements
Understand fixed and floating bearings, identify typical design errors, and evaluate reliable bearing designs based on practical examples.
Using AI effectively
Classify bearing engineering assistants and generative AI, and identify where digital support helps and where technical expertise remains indispensable.
Optimizing friction and lubrication
Evaluate new ways to minimize friction, modern lubrication concepts, and current regulatory developments.
Understanding new types of damage
Classify challenges related to e-mobility, wind power, and electric drives, as well as damage mechanisms such as white etching cracks, in a practical context.
