Elgeti Engineering GmbH

This week, we’re thrilled to be part of the VDI Agricultural Engineering Land.Technik conference! It’s a fantastic opportunity to connect with industry experts and showcase our specialized services, including #failureanalysis of #gearboxes, #bearingsupplier development, and related technical #seminars. A huge thank you to everyone who visited our booth so far – your engaging conversations and insights truly make this event memorable. And, of course, thank you to VDI Wissensforum GmbH for hosting such a valuable gathering for the agricultural engineering community! Elgeti Engineering USA, Inc.

Our new customized bearing test rig is ready for shipment. Designed and engineered at our facilities, this rig is equipped to test grease lubricated bearings under both high-speed and high-temperature conditions, ensuring reliability and precision in demanding applications. Thanks to our team for their consistent effort and expertise in bringing this project to completion. If you are interested in special testing solutions, please do not hesitate to contact us! #EngineeringExcellence #BearingTechnology #PrecisionTesting

The second session of our online seminar series "Application Engineering" takes place on 10/9 and will focus on accleration in bearings. Both rotational and lateral accelerations result in loads on cages and can potentially cause fatigue failures. We will discuss the impacts of these phenomena on cage design, operational limiations and specific testing methods for replicated these failure modes.

The first session of our online seminar series on "Application Engineering" will be held on 10/8. In the first half, we will discuss how to derive appropriate load assumptions in a variety of applications. There will also be a more in-depth discussion about grease lubrication, including learning about grease endurance estimation based on relubrication intervals. The second half will cover two examples: an electric motor with a belt drive and a helical gearbox. These will include the use of bearing life calculations based on local stresses acccording to ISO 16281, which allow shaft deflections and misalignments to be taken into account.

Our online seminar series "Bearing Supplier Development" concludes on 10/10 with an overview of bearing testing methods, approaches for initial supplier approval, as well as approaches for maintaining reliable long term relationships. This session will address how to apply the testing methods, audits, etc. based on the stated requirements to yield the expected quality.

The third session of our seminar series "Bearing Supplier Development" will take place on 9/30. This 90-minute session will focus on audits, supplier visits, and requirements for production documentation. One of the goals of this session is to learn how to identify whether production methods and related organisation will be sufficient for safely achieving the expected quality level.

During the second session of our seminar series "Bearing Supplier Development" on 9/26 we will focus on quality characteristics and their technical specification in relation to quality expectation. We will talk about both macro- and micro-geometry, material properties including heat treatment, and additional requirements that will lead to reliable products.

The main motivation for on-site inspections with endoscopy is detecting possible damages at an early stage in order to avoid unexpected breakdowns. In this case, standstill marks on the bearing and gearing shall be monitored, allowing for possible repairs to be prepared in case secondary damages appear. Nevertheless, the following questions will invariably arise: Why did this happen? What are the consequences? What can be done to counteract the damage? How can this be avoided in other machiens? Here, the use of sophisticated engineering methods as well as broad application-related experiences will make the difference. Specifically, this can mean a complete design review using the FVA GmbH Workbench, metallurgical and geometrical inspections, SEM, EDX, and many more -- always focusing not only on documenting the problem, but providing meaningful solutions. #reliability #gearboxes #inspection

Our online seminar series "Bearing Supplier Development" begins on 9/19 with an introduction to the topic, the motivation for finding new suppliers, and advice on how to define quality levels. Proper supplier development begins with clearly specifying what is actually needed. Here, we destinguish between "standard," "premium" and "low cost" quality, each of which has their justification and limitations, as well as explaining what so-called "electro motor quality" is about.

Identifying damage in assets early can contribute significantly to reducing downtime and preventing additional damage. Especially for large gearboxes such as those used in steel mills and tire plants, replacement parts are not always available on short notice. Repairs frequently require costly and involved preparations such as removing conveyor belts and piping. An unexpected failure can halt an entire production line for months. If potential problems are detected early, there is sufficient time to plan the repair. In the ideal case, the repair can be synchronized with a scheduled maintenance break. Elgeti Engineering's experts are available world-wide to provide condition monitoring services including endoscopy and vibration measurement. Taking lubricant samples for analysis is also part of regular examinations.
