Strategies for Assessing and Optimizing Bearing Running Noise

Strategies for Assessing and Optimizing Bearing Running Noise

The noise behavior of rolling-element bearings is an important indicator of quality - but understanding what is causing the noise often involves complex simulations. The Schaeffler Noise Index (SGI) is a new, ready-to-use rating tool designed to help users select the right bearing for the right application.

KISSsoft Examines E-Mobility Applications

KISSsoft Examines E-Mobility Applications

The increasing number of electric vehicles is already having an impact on the design of transmissions. Although the number of gears in e-mobility applications is typically lower than in conventional passenger cars (see kinematics example), the requirements for low-noise and low-vibration transmissions as well as high power density and transmission efficiency are very high. For the engineer, this means a whole series of new challenges.
