Drive systems are at the heart of machines and systems. The motor, mechanical components, drive electronics and increasingly more software ideally interact with each other and lead to optimal motion sequences in the machine and systems. In order to achieve this goal, the components must not only be considered individually but holistically and linked together. This is particularly important when designing and dimensioning the overall mechatronic system and the individual drive components.

This topic is the focus of the user meeting for mechatronic drive technology, which will take place in Würzburg on September 29, 2020. How do you find the right components? And how are they properly integrated into the drive train? These are questions that designers deal with every day.

User meeting mechatronic drive technology

The focus of the user meeting mechatronic drive technology is on the mechanical components of gears, clutches and brakes as well as their design, dimensioning and interaction in the overall mechatronic system.

Agile system development of mechatronic systems

Since the drive train is becoming an increasingly complex mechatronic overall system, it is important to use the appropriate development methods across disciplines to develop the ideal drive system for the respective application. Project teams have to adapt more and more to a constantly changing task and environment. Agile system development can help. The participants of the user meeting for mechatronic drive technology will learn how this works in the keynote "Development methods of mechatronic systems". Bernhard Budaker from CSI is involved in a ZVEI working group on agile system development. In the keynote he gives an insight into the methodology, explains how the agile system development of mechatronic systems works and brings experience from various projects.

This is followed by three thematic blocks with the focus:

  • Development and simulation
  • Optimization of mechanical components
  • Drive system 4.0

Avoid errors in the drive design

Even if an electric drive has been correctly dimensioned according to the data on which it is based, problems can arise in later operation under unfavorable circumstances. In extreme cases, components have to be replaced and existing designs changed. Reinhard Mansius, author of the practical manual drive design, will show typical errors in the first topic block, which can be caused in advance, but also during the drive design. If these errors are known, problems in later operation can be avoided.

Avoid errors in the drive design

Dennis Tazir of FVA GmbH explains how to exchange transmission data with the manufacturer-independent REXS interface, which basic principles the REXS model has and how the data exchange between the FVA Workbench and BEARINX works. This first block of topics will also deal with the simulation of the development of electrical drive systems. Markus Jaksch von Baumüller gives an overview of various simulation tools and their possible uses.

Optimize transmission parameters thanks to multi-body simulation

At noon, everything revolves around the mechanical drive components. Dr.-Ing. Explains how these can be optimized thanks to multi-body simulation. Manuel Eckstein from the Wölfel engineering office. Because the early use of simulation in the development process enables the performance of the drive train to be examined under various operating conditions and optimized from the start. As a rule, it is not sufficient to consider and design all components individually. The interplay of the individual components is much more important. Dr.-Ing. Eckstein uses a practical example and shows how individual gearbox parameters can be optimized thanks to the MBS simulation model.

Optimal design of efficient drive system

Novel materials can also optimize the drive components. The participants learn from the experts at Jakob Antriebstechnik GmbH that this is possible. A coupling made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic was developed there. At the mechatronic drive technology user meeting, the speakers give a look behind the scenes of the development process and describe the advantages of the new coupling. In addition, it will be about the design of small-module gears in gear technology. Benjamin Abert reports on an FVA research project in which the load-bearing capacity of straight and helical teeth, corrected and uncorrected teeth could be demonstrated.

Intelligent drive components

The last block of topics in the afternoon is dedicated to smart components that are increasingly digitizing the drive system. An intelligent clutch is presented, thanks to which measurement data from the rotating drive train can be recorded, a system that enables networked brake monitoring - without any sensors, and a practical example, in which drive trains are monitored in eccentric presses thanks to intelligent condition monitoring can.

Efficient lubrication of an electromechanical drive train

Finally, Bernd Morhard from the Technical University of Munich offers an insight into the research. The Speed4E research project is currently developing a new drivetrain concept for electric vehicles. The lubrication system developed for the transmission of the electromechanical high-speed drive aims for a high degree of efficiency and an optimized heat balance through the oil flow tailored to the needs. The maximum peripheral speeds of 55 m / s result from the maximum speeds of 30,000 rpm on the vehicle. In this context, it is examined how the lubrication system can be designed so that it works as efficiently as possible, always in connection with the overall heat management of the vehicle.

There will also be an exhibition at the mechatronic drive technology user meeting, which offers time and space for exchange and discussion. In the picture: the exhibition at the previous event - the user meeting for industrial gear units

The user meeting on industrial gearboxes was preceded by the user meeting on mechatronic drive technology on June 25, 2019. There, the focus was on the transmission as part of the drive train of industrial machines and systems. Impressions and approved lecture charts can be found here.

This was the first user meeting for industrial gearboxes in 2019:
