The conference had to be postponed to 2022. New date: September 12th to 14th, 2022.

Add the new conference date to your calendar! Due to pandemic the 9th International Conference on Gears 2022 will now be held in Garching, Munich at the Gear Research Center (FZG) of the Technical University of Munich from September 12th to 14th, 2022. Supported by national and international associations, the conference brings together leading experts from the international gear and transmission industry. Participating the conference gives you the opportunity to take part in this leading international forum and learn about the latest developments and research results in the powertrain industry and academia. We are looking forward to the face-to-face dialogue with you in 2022!
Discover innovative gear technology, network around the world and build partnerships!
Following on from the success of the past conference the “International Conference on Gears” will surely be a again a unique meeting point for equipment manufacturers, producers and researchers of gear and transmission systems and present your new solutions, latest research results and technical ideas. You will find answers to questions such as Where are the potentials for innovative tooth geometry and modifications? How can you increase the load carrying-capacity? or What are the best techniques for continuous diagnosis and monitoring? And many more.
The discussion will focus e.g. on topics:
- Optimization of gear design and geometry
- System-modelling, -simulation and –calculation of gears
- New calculation methods for load carrying capacity, strength and more efficiency
- NVH behavior and noise reduction of transmission systems
- Condition monitoring and damage detection
- EHL contact
- Quality assurance and measurement
Be inspired - This year’s conference program is out now!
