Shafts – Detection Methods in the Practical Application of

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.

Why should you be there?

Shaft
  • Digital tools
    Get reliable results faster
  • Cost efficiency
    Reduce material and cost expenditure.
  • Safety
    Verify Safeties in accordance with standards
  • Sustainability
    Calculate energy and weight-optimized components
  • Practical examples
    Independent assessment of function and safety

 

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.

Here are the topics you can expect…

Criteria for a comprehensive shaft calculation

Learn basic factors for shaft calculations with the highest safety and performance requirements.

Dynamic and static strength verification

Learn how to apply various verifications to ensure reliability and longevity.

Notch coefficients and
