3rd International FVA-Conference

The Expert Forum for Bearings –
Rolling and Plain Bearings!

BEARING WORLD by FVA – The Third expert forum “Industrial Research and Science in Dialogue with Practical Application”, focusing on the topic of bearings in theory and application.

Primary Topics

BEARING WORLD 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.

» Drive technology applications and challenges to bearings
» Calculation and bearing dimensioning
» Life and durability
» Energy efficiency
» Rolling bearing dynamics
» NVH (noise, vibration, harshness)
» Bearing damage
» Protective seals for rolling bearings
» Manufacturing aspects, tolerances
» Validation
» Lubrication
» Lab testing vs. field performance
» Smart bearings
» Model-based systems engineering
