Hub calculation

The hub calculation is based on international norms and standards such as DIN, ISO or specific industry guidelines. These standards define the minimum requirements that a hub must meet in order to guarantee operational safety, service life and functionality.

Strength calculation and design criteria

Various factors are taken into account when calculating hubs, including mechanical loads such as torques, bending stresses and radial forces. Engineers use finite element analysis (FEA) and other calculation methods to simulate the stress on the hub under operating conditions and select the correct dimensions and materials.

Material selection and surface treatment of hubs

The choice of hub material depends on the requirements of the application, including strength, corrosion resistance and weight. Typical materials include steel, aluminium alloys or titanium, which are optimized according to the load and environment. Surface treatments such as hardening or coating can further improve the strength and wear resistance of the hub.

Practical applications and areas of use

Hub calculations are used in a variety of rotating machine components, including shafts, wheels, gears and turbines. They are indispensable for the development and optimization of drive systems, pumps, generators and in aerospace technology.

Assembly and quality control of hubs

Correct assembly and monitoring during production are crucial to ensure that the calculated specifications of the hub are met. Regular inspections and tests ensure the quality and reliability of the hubs throughout their service life.
