About FVA
The German Research Association for Drive Technology (Forschungsvereinigung Antriebstechnik e.V.,
or FVA) is an innovation network for mechanical engineering and the automotive industry. FVA members
include internationally active companies, and its suppliers are among the leading research institutions
of the industry. More than 200 companies, 2000 industry experts, and 100 research institutes come together under the umbrella of the FVA to collaborate on pre-competitive collective industrial research. This research forms the foundation for company-specific product innovations.
For nearly 50 years as a non-profit organization, the FVA has promoted research and exchange of
experience within the industry and the development of young academic talent. In this way, small
and mid-sized companies are given the chance to work together with leading organizations on far-reaching research programs.
Rolling and plain bearings have been one of the FVA‘s primary focuses for many years. Topics in the
areas of bearing kinematics, heat development, load carrying capacity, damage mechanisms, and friction are addressed in a large number of projects.
The FVA Workbench, the FVA‘s software for the design of drive systems, makes the knowledge gained from this collective research available for practical industrial application, with more than 1000 research findings easily accessible to users.
Trade conferences such as Bearing World are intended to promote exchange, find synergies,
and create standards.
