Tension-fit connections are key components for secure, backlash-free, and force-fit shaft-hub connections. The right choice not only affects operational safety but also the weight, energy efficiency, service life, and carbon footprint of machines and systems.
In this free informational session, engineers and designers will gain a practical overview of modern clamping connections. The session will cover fundamental operating principles such as frictional engagement, surface pressure, and tapered press fits, as well as key selection criteria for torque, bending, and axial loads.
Using real-world applications from industry, material handling, and wind power, we will demonstrate how optimally designed clamping solutions can prevent downtime, improve component efficiency, and reduce costs in the long term. You will also gain an initial understanding of calculation methods, FEA, and applications using MDESIGN 2026.
