Fundamental research work on the operating principles of lubricated sliding and rolling contacts enables the prediction of friction losses and a deeper understanding of fatigue and wear. The findings form a cross-application basis for innovations as well as for the continuous optimization of existing systems.

The institute is working in several lighthouse projects on the development of innovative powertrains for wind turbines (HAPT, HBDV) and e-vehicles (Speed4E) as well as resource-efficient technologies (Taylored Forming, Powertrain 2025), thus contributing to the energy and mobility transition. The IMKT is dedicated to researching and tribologically optimizing machine elements under practical operating conditions. The focus of the strongly experimentally oriented research is on the economic efficiency and reliability of drive components.
