NSK to provide technical data to FVA Workbench
NSK is delighted to announce that it will now be providing technical data to FVA Workbench, a specialist software tool used in the design and optimisation of gearboxes and other drive systems.
NSK Deep Groove Ball Bearing and Angular Contact Ball Bearing data now available in FVA Workbench.
The move should allow engineers to easily and quickly analyse NSK’s bearings, reducing the time required for bearing selection.
The news follows similar announcements in 2023 about NSK supplying data to MESYS and KISSsoft, two companies that develop technical calculation software for engineers engaged in machinery design. All these moves are part of NSK’s efforts to ensure that our customers can make informed decisions about our products whenever and wherever is convenient for them.
FVA-Workbench is the brainchild of German firm FVA GmbH, based in Frankfurt. In simplest terms it is a powerful tool for engineers and designers working with transmissions, providing a comprehensive platform for design, calculation, simulation and optimisation, all based on the latest research and industry standards.
It bundles the knowledge from over 50 years of research and new findings are continuously integrated into the platform. As such FVA says the software always reflects the current state of research along with classic calculation methods according to industry standards.
NSK Tapered Roller Bearing data now available in FVA Workbench.
This new agreement means that NSK’s catalogue data will be available as part of FVA Workbench and, using the inbuilt simulation tool, users will be able to design virtual gearboxes incorporating different NSK bearings. From now on users will be able to easily select most of NSK’s leading products including deep groove ball bearings, angular contact ball bearings, cylindrical roller bearings, tapered roller bearings, spherical roller bearings and more.
‘We’re delighted that our data has been integrated into the FVA Workbench tool,’ said Ralf Petersen, Director of Application Engineering at NSK Europe. ‘It will not only increase our presence in the early stage of product development, but it will make it simpler and more convenient for customers to make sure they are making the right choice when it comes to an integral component. We know that offering engineers the ability to select NSK bearings in the concept and design phase to perform initial calculations is a huge step forward in providing full satisfaction to our customers.’
