Optimization of the dynamic behavior of slewing mechanisms for bucket wheel excavators
Swivel mechanisms enable the targeted control of a rotary movement. This is between
two ball races arranged a plurality of rolling elements, which have a bearing function
of the rotatable system part. The slewing ring is driven by a
Pinion-ring gear system, whereby the drive power necessary for the rotary movement is over
several swivel drives arranged on the circumference of the ring gear are provided.
During the digging process, the bucket wheel excavator’s superstructure is lifted over the slewing mechanism
pivoted about its vertical axis, so that a large area of ​​the slope from the paddle wheel
can be covered without moving the device. However, due to the
mechanical coupling with the wheel arm, the digging forces in the slewing gear and in the
Swivel gear. Various process-specific effects contribute to the fact that the
The nominal loads of the digging and swiveling process are superimposed on dynamic loads. The
Dynamic additional loads limit the service life of those involved in the digging process
Machine elements, as every load cycle leads to partial damage to the components. In addition, will
the inherent behavior of the system is addressed, so that excess resonance occurs and
further promote component fatigue.
With the help of the simulation models to be developed, the overall system is coordinated
in terms of improved dynamics. As a suitable method of achieving this
The aim is to develop an optimized motor control for the swivel drives.
Linked to this is the analysis of the influence of the individual drive train components on
the dynamic behavior of the pan and dig process. This enables the delivering
SMEs integrate their partial deliveries into a coordinated system so that in

Co- ordination of EU- Funding is essential for maintaining international competitiveness

The steel industry will play a key role on the way to a climate-neutral economy in 2050. Since a significant part of the industrial CO2 emissions in steel production occurs via the blast furnace-converter route, the use of climate-friendly technologies could have an enormous impact on climate protection. Various possibilities are known and available for this, from the direct avoidance of CO2 in the production process (Carbon Direct Avoidance CDA) to the chemical processing of the CO2 (Carbon Capture and Usage CCU), to the circular economy. They must now be quickly researched in demonstration and pilot processes for their industrial feasibility. An even stronger focus on the circular economy offers further potential for more sustainability and climate protection.

Funding required for investment and operating costs
The conversion to green production processes is associated with massive investments for steel companies. For the locations in Germany, this will amount to around 30 billion euros by 2050. In addition, there are significantly higher operating costs for climate-friendly processes. The transformation therefore requires full funding of investment costs and additional operating costs in the case of large-scale implementation. On the part of the state, European and national funding programs exist or are being set up for which steel companies can apply.

It is also important that steel companies in Germany can apply for and receive funding from the ETS Innovation Fund, which is intended to support the implementation and demonstration of low-carbon steel production. This includes that companies using this program can receive additional funding from other funding programs (“sequencing”). In the 9th EU framework program for research and innovation and the achievement of the “Clean Steel” partnership, Germany should at least participate in proportion to its share in EU steel production.

Niels v. Bülow Foundation The foundation is named after Niels von Bülow (1894-1983), the chairman of the HVG and DGG from 1948 to 1963 and the initiator of the foundation. The foundation was set up in 1964 and came about thanks to a generous donation from Gerresheimer Glashüttenwerke, Düsseldorf. The sole purpose of the foundation is the non-profit promotion of vocational training and advanced training for young professionals for the glass industry. The aim is to give the scholarship holders the opportunity to study, to continue a course they have started, or to do a doctorate after completing their main examination through a one-off financial aid or financial aid extending over a longer period of time.

Bauhaus 2019 Competition:
“We congratulate the winners and awardees on their great work and their success in the competition.

The recognition in the 2019 university competition was announced on November 14th. awarded at the Bauhaus University in Weimar. All award-winning works are documented in the competition catalog

Within the scope of the EPD, the totality of released volatile organic compounds and especially the formaldehyde emissions were examined and evaluated in the test chamber experiment. These substances are suspected of causing allergic and carcinogenic (carcinogenic) effects after prolonged exposure, as is typical for interior rooms in apartments. However, gypsum boards and their varieties (damp room, fire protection, perforated and dry screed boards) and gypsum fiber boards (also known as dry screed boards) do not have any of these negative effects on indoor air quality. The indoor emissions values measured and shown in the EPD meet all safety requirements according to the recognized test scheme of the Committee for the Health Assessment of Building Products (AgBB test scheme for interior emissions.
