Welcome to KAt
At the Chair of Design and Drive Technology (KAt), the center of our research and teaching lies on the design of conventionally and additively manufactured electromechanical drive solutions at the system, component and tribological levels. We combine fundamental research with application-oriented development, focusing on the following areas:
- Drive technology: Our goal is the resource-efficient design of components and systems. An in-depth understanding of the physical processes involved in brakes and seals allows us to optimize their performance and reliability. We combine experimental analyses with numerical simulations to develop precise models and pursue innovative design approaches.
- Additive manufacturing: Our research focuses on the functional and manufacturing-oriented design of drive components, particularly electric motors. Functional integration with regard to damping, cooling and electromagnetic flux guidance is a key aspect. A design optimized for strength and minimizing deviations ensures optimum mechanical and geometric performance with a high degree of lightweight construction.
