Industry solutions for efficient and reliable drive systems
Drive technology is at the heart of countless applications – from vehicles to industrial plants to renewable energies. The demands on modern drive systems are continually increasing: Maximum efficiency, highest power density, minimal emissions (for conventional drives), optimized NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) behavior, guaranteed service life, and system integration while simultaneously maintaining cost pressure are key challenges. The transformation to electromobility and the use of new technologies present developers with additional, complex tasks.

NVH & Acoustics of Drivetrains: For More Quiet and Comfort
Unwanted noises and vibrations from engines (combustion engines and electric motors), transmissions, and ancillary units reduce comfort and can indicate structural problems. High-frequency noises are particularly noticeable in quiet electric drive systems.
Our solution:
Structural and airborne sound analyses to identify sound sources and transmission paths, modal analysis and operational vibration measurements to characterize dynamic behavior, acoustic measurements to evaluate sound radiation and advice on the development of optimization measures (e.g. damping, stiffening, encapsulation).
Structural mechanics & durability: Reliability under the highest load
Drive components such as crankshafts, connecting rods, gears, shafts, housings, and rotor structures are subject to high mechanical and thermal loads. Their structural integrity and sufficient fatigue strength must be ensured throughout their entire required service life.
Our solution:
Linear and nonlinear structural analyses for the evaluation of stresses and deformations under static and dynamic loads, fatigue and service life calculations based on operational load spectra, material characterization and modeling (including fatigue), experimental validation through strain measurements and fatigue strength tests.
Specific analyses for electric drives: Multiphysics in focus
Electric drives require the analysis of electromagnetic fields, their interaction with structural mechanics (e.g., radial forces, noise excitation), and thermals (heat sources due to electrical losses). The integration of electric motors, transmissions, and power electronics poses special challenges.
Our solution: Coupled electromagnetic-thermal-structural simulations (FEM) for analyzing efficiency, torque ripple, force excitations, and temperature distribution, specific NVH analyses for electric motors, validation measurements (temperature, vibrations, power), and consulting for the design and integration of electric drive components.
