At the plain bearing working group of the research associations FVV and FVA within the VDMA, Mr. Friedrich presented the results of the project “Kombilager II” (FVA 884 II). In addition, Mr. Ebermann provided an update on the project “Gleitlagersystemtoleranzen” (FVA 803 III). Further projects are planned for 2026, including one on the „Losringlager“ as
From 30th June-2nd July the IKAT hosted the PA AK Gleitlager in the european capital of culture Chemnitz. The intensive technical exchange of ideas was enhanced by a varied cultural program. You can see some cultural and technical insights in the short: We would like to thank the Plain Bearings Section for the excellent organization
Thin film polymers are increasingly being used in plain bearing systems due to their excellent sliding and emergency running properties. Due to the relatively low modulus of elasticity, these systems are designed with very thin layers. Otherwise, the negative properties of compliance, creep and poor heat transfer would predominate. However, the low layer thicknesses make
On 27 and 28 June 2018 Prof. Hasse, Björn Prase and Marko Ebermann were at the Otto von Guericke Universität in Magdeburg for the Project Support Committee for Plain Bearings (FVV/FVA). The event was hosted by the Institute for Machine Design (IMK) under Prof. Barthel. On the first day, in addition to the intensive networking during the
