                      October 12-13, 2010
 

The Fluid Power Association of VDMA with its Fluid Power Sealing Group
is organizing the

16th ISC
International Sealing Conference


on October 12-13, 2010 at the University of Stuttgart. The Conference will be held under the scientific auspices of Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Werner Haas of the Institute of Machine Components of the University of Stuttgart.

The motto for the Conference will be

Sealing Systems –
Cutting Edge Technology in the Smallest Envelope


Sealing Systems have a significant impact on both, the functionality and the safety of complex systems, as well as on their environmental friendliness.

The aim of this conference is to present the results of scientific research, results of development and experiences of users, and to allow for transferring this information to, and sharing it with

  • scientific institutions,
  • manufacturers/suppliers of seals and sealing systems,
  • users (manufacturers of hydraulic and pneumatic systems and components, machinery, automobile and plant manufacturers, but also automotive industry suppliers, aerospace and chemical industry),
  • manufacturers of preliminary products for sealing materials,
  • manufacturers of hydraulic fluids and lubricants, and
  • service providers, such as testing labs and engineering offices.

 

At the 16th ISC – International Sealing Conference presentations on the following topics are requested:

  • Static Seals
  • Rotary Shaft Seals
  • Reciprocating Seals (Hydraulics/Pneumatics)
  • Basics of Sealing Technology
  • Materials and Surfaces
  • Energy conservation/Friction/Wear
  • Simulation
  • Standardization/Patents/Laws/Test Procedures
  • Applications in Practice

The detailed conference programme can be downloaded here.

The printed programme brochure will be available from middle of June 2010 and can be ordered by E-mail at ralf.stemmjack@vdma.org.
