Maiwald Engineering

Maiwald Engineering is an engineering office specializing in FEM and tribology, a spin-off company from Chemnitz University of Technology, bringing advanced research in multi-body FEM simulation to industrial clients. The company's business is based on simulation methods developed by CEO Prof. Dr.-Ing. A. Maiwald, extensively validated experimentally and recognized with scientific awards. Maiwald Engineering focuses on core competencies such as rolling bearing creep (slip/relative movements between rolling bearing rings and connecting components) and general realistic simulation of slip/relative movements in contacting component surfaces. Their services combine simulation results with friction and wear tests to estimate wear volume and dynamic contact lifespan before physical prototypes are manufactured. The service portfolio also includes stress and structural analyses, component deformation calculations, and damage analyses. Additionally, Maiwald Engineering possesses extensive experimental expertise in tribology, friction, wear, and lubrication, uniquely combining FEM simulation and experimentation.
