Comprehensive Engineering, made in Aachen
Get to Know Us
With a management and expert team consisting of former and current employees of the Institute for Machine Elements and Systems Engineering, IME Aachen GmbH has an excellent network in the Aachen research landscape. This enables the company to bundle its own competencies with the latest research results in the field of drive technology and to transfer them into industrial practice in the form of unique products.
Combining our various fields of expertise, we always aim to define a efficient, comprehensive,
scientifically well-founded project plan for each individual inquiry. Feel free to challenge us!
Test Rigs
Design, development and manufacture of test benches for drive trains components Successful implementation of various large test benches up to a mass of 100 t / length 15 m Individual Test bench development as a service Work-In-Progress: Offering of standard test benches
Plain Bearings
Development of plain bearing systems, especially for low-speed drive trains Use of a highly developed simulation process to define the ideal macro and micro geometry of the bearing system System tests up to 4 MW Material and tribological system tests on bearing test benches up to ø120 mm
System- / Concept Development
Development and implementation of innovative ideas “from a white sheet of paper up to the first prototype” with systematic design methodology Continuous validation through the use of model-based development Transparent communication through the process Support up until the transition to industrialization
Simulation
Finite element simulation: strength verifications, deformation analyses, etc. Multi-body simulation: dynamic / acoustic analyses, load determination EHD simulation: Plain bearing analysis
Testing
Specification/verification, service life and NVH Drive trains / gearboxes Plain bearings Roller bearings Couplings Cardan shafts Lubricants
CAD Design
Dimensioning / Specification Tolerance analyses Creation of full production drawings and assembly handbook
Root Cause Analysis
Assessment of drivetrain failures Material and lubricant analyses Systematic derivation of damage hypotheses and subsequent investigation using simulation and testing
