FVA - Research Association for Drive Technology e. V.

The FVA is committed to propelling advancements in drive technology. To achieve this, it actively encourages collaboration between research entities and industry partners, serving as a facilitative intermediary. This synergy is particularly evident in specialized project committees such as

• Calculation and simulation
• Bevel gears
• Spur gears
• Rolling bearing
• Shaft-hub connection
• Workbench

These committees harness collective expertise and drive pre-competitive developments. The Chair of Engineering Design & CAD has been an integral part of community research for numerous years. Through intense and well-coordinated collaboration with other research entities, we have successfully integrated finite element analysis as a key numerical calculation tool within the computational processes of both the FVA and various companies. This integration significantly enhances the precision and quality of gear calculation results. The effectiveness of this approach has been repeatedly confirmed in numerous research projects spanning several years. (contact us: Florian Hüter).
