6th International FVA-Conference for Bearings

– Rolling and Plain Bearings!

17 - 18 June, 2026 in Dresden, Germany

Interested in bearings?

BEARING WORLD is the essential conference for exchanging knowledge with the bearing community. In technology, wherever there is movement, rolling element and plain bearings are essential. Bearings transmit operating forces between moving machine components – and therefore play a crucial role in the functionality, efficiency, and service life of the overall machine or system. The stresses on rolling bearings in particular are very high, and will continue to increase in the future. As will expectations of reliability. Therefore, appropriate bearing selection and dimensioning as well as the optimal design of the bearing environment are indispensable. This requires constant growth in expertise based on practical experience and scientific knowledge. Visit the conference and discuss the latest trends. 

Topics

The conference focuses on all facets of bearings and all involved components, with special emphasis on rolling bearings – in combination with or comparison to plain or magnetic bearings.
