Fraunhofer Institute for Machine Tools and Forming Technology IWUObjective
- Optimization of the acoustic behavior of hollow gear shafts
Approach
Exploiting the production-related potential in order to influence the acoustic behavior
- Specific design of the inner contour
- Minimizing imbalances
- Material design
Development objectives
- Adapting the geometric and material parameters that can be influenced by production technology
- Optimizing the component properties (acoustics, reduced component weight, reduced material usage)
Benefits
- Improving the acoustic properties by adapting the wall thickness
- Flexible component design
- Mass and cost reductions
