Gear Up #9: NVH White Paper | Shaft/Notch Calculations | Drive Technology Events

New white paper: NVH optimization and production tolerances

Manufacturing tolerances play a key role in noise excitation – the main cause of unwanted noise in gearboxes. In our latest white paper, we demonstrate how different tolerance scenarios and torques can influence the NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) behavior. To analyze this complex issue, we use the powerful scripting feature in the FVA-Workbench to examine over 30,000 variants. This feature allows you to perform extensive tolerance studies and to identify and minimize potential errors at an early stage.

More information on scripting is available at: www.fva-service.de/fvaworkbench.
