Seminar
Shaft - detection methods in
the practical application
This seminar shows how you can significantly increase the safety and efficiency
significantly increase the safety and efficiency of your shaft constructions and
and weight. You will also learn all about the latest techniques
shaft calculation and the dynamic and static
static strength verification.
This seminar is independent of the MDESIGN.
It is not necessary to install or use the software.
The aim of the seminar is the safe application of shaft calculation
in accordance with DIN 743 in order to meet the existing requirements of the
safety verification.
In addition to the determination of Safeties in the nominal voltage concept
further topics of a comprehensive shaft calculation,
such as load spectra, fatigue strength calculations, deflections, critical speeds and other calculation methods,
critical speeds and also other calculation methods
(e.g. FKM guideline) are part of the seminar.
These topics await you...
