Welcome to the official website for the
8th International Fluid Power Conference!
The IFK is one of the world's most significant scientific conferences for fluid power control technology and systems.
It offers international manufacturers, users and researchers a common platform for presentation and discussion of developments, trends and innovations.
On the first day the symposium will be dedicated to presentations focused on methodology and fundamental research in the field of fluid power.
The following two conference days will offer a great variety of topics regarding the latest applications and technology in fluid power. This special combination is what makes the IFK an ideal forum for the exchange of academic research and experience in industrial application. At the same time, an exhibition provides participants with the opportunity to get product information and to converse directly with manufacturers. The conference is followed by two days of excursions to regional companies and technical places of interest.
As a universal drive technology, fluid power plays a major role in machinery and industrial engineering, frequently competing with electric drive systems. Due to high standards in technology, as well as innovative ideas, approaches and solutions, the manufacturers and users of fluid power drive systems are able to develop new strategies and actively take the next steps towards further development.
The spectrum of conference topics proves that:
"Fluid Power Drives!"
I look forward to seeing you in Dresden in March 2012!
