The Rotating Components Department specializes in the analysis, development, and optimization of rotating components. One focus is on fatigue assessment and service life analysis and prediction for wheel head systems in commercial vehicles and passenger cars. To this end, we develop innovative test methods and use advanced simulation methods to validate and predict the behavior of components under realistic operating conditions. By analyzing static and dynamic behavior, system requirements can be identified and evaluated at an early stage. We also research technologies for reducing tire wear and its environmental impact. In addition, we support partners by transferring expert knowledge—for example, through training courses and conferences—and use this to develop customized solutions for various industrial challenges.
