Development of powertrain systems

With our interdisciplinary approach, we support you throughout all stages of development with consultation, individual tasks and phases of the development process to the complete methodological development of drive systems. In doing so, we work with your systems and processes as well as our own. With our interdisciplinary experience in virtual and real-life automotive and special machines, we are your ideal, reliable partner – from advance development to mass production, and from components to entire systems.

  • Load data simulation as a basis for component development
  • Integration, bearing and vibration decoupling
  • (3D) tolerance management from the component to the complete system
  • Test and validation of electronic drive components on the test bench and in the vehicle
  • Commissioning/test station

Transmissions

The requirements of transmissions have changed immeasurably as a result of the rise of e-mobility. We develop specialized transmission systems that take into account the increased requirements in terms of topology, lightweight construction, rpm ranges and acoustics.

  • Gear, shaft and bearing design
  • Parking brake design
  • Housing design
  • Clutch and actuator systems
  • CAE-based design, optimization and safeguarding
  • Design for manufacturing (including molding) and assembly
  • Supplier management
  • Application
  • Electronics development

Electric motors

In the development of electric motors, we support our customers with everything from electromagnetics to the acoustic and structural-mechanical analysis to the application.

  • Electromagnetic simulation
  • CAE-based analysis of thermal aspects, acoustics, dynamics, mechanics and durability
  • Housing development and construction
  • Integration (e.g. fully integrated gearbox/drive units)
  • Power electronics
  • Application of customer-specific measurement and testing systems
  • Hardware and software development
