The International Conference on Gears 2013 in Germany is a broad platform for equipment manufacturers and producers and researchers of gear and transmission systems to present new solutions and their latest research results.
Supported by national and international associations, the conference will show what the transmission and drive train industry can contribute to increase energy efficiency. Gears are vital in the efficiency of different applications. They transmit and vary torque between prime movers and applications. There is still room for improvement, which will be demonstrated by the presenters. New concepts for drive trains of energy supply systems provide answers to the increasing demand for energy worldwide. These concepts must be introduced to global markets more quickly. Therefore, new designs are necessary and will be presented at the conference.
The state-of-the-art of industrial applications will be demonstrated at an exhibition beside the conference.
In four simultaneous tracks with 32 sessions and over 124 speakers, the conference will discuss:
• Design, analysis, and simulation of gears and transmission
• Research results of industrial applications e.g. for wind generators or transmissions for production machinery or in the automotive sector
• Manufacturing technologies to improve product quality or manufacturing processes
• Materials and influences of surfaces
• New testing methods for lifetime, efficiency, and noise behavior.
