15th International Sealing Conference

The Fluid Power Association of VDMA, the German Engineering Federation, with its Fluid Power Sealing Group is organizing the 15th International Sealing Conference on October 7-8, 2008, at the University of Stuttgart. The Conference will be held under the scientific auspices of Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Werner Haas (haas@ima.uni-stuttgart.de) of the Institute of Machine Components of the University of Stuttgart.

Sealing Systems have a significant impact on both, the functionality and the safety of complex systems, as well as on their environmental friendliness. The motto for the Conference will be, "Innovative Sealing Technology – Static and Dynamic"

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 with all parties concerned.

Anybody interested in making a presentation on the occasion of the 15th ISC can download the Call for Papers from www.sealing-conference.com or ask for the printed version at ralf.stemmjack@vdma.org. An abstract of the paper in English or German have to be submitted by March 31, 2008, at the latest.

At the 15th ISC – International Sealing Conference presentations on the following topics are requested:

➢ Static Seals
➢ Rotary Shaft Seals
➢ Reciprocating Seals (Hydraulics/Pneumatics)
➢ Basics of Sealing Technology
➢ Material Characteristics
➢ Friction/Wear/Energy conservation
➢ Simulation
➢ Standardization/Patents/Laws/Test Procedures
