SADAP develops, simulates, manufactures, and tests oil-free aerodynamic foil bearings for high-speed rotating machinery. As a TU Braunschweig spin-off, SADAP combines deep research expertise with industrial-grade engineering, covering the full value chain from concept design through prototype manufacturing to small-batch and series production.
Core capabilities:
→ Foil Bearing Design & Engineering: application-specific journal and thrust bearing development for compressors, turbines, blowers, expanders, and fuel cell air supply systems
→ Production: manufacturing chain including laser cutting, cold forming, heat treatment, and high-performance coatings, from single prototypes to scalable series production
→ RoLaSIM: proprietary simulation software for air bearing performance prediction and rotordynamic stability analysis
→ DynamInspect & VibroAnalytics: precision vibration testing services for structural qualification (DIN 60068-2-6) and mechanical impedance characterization (ISO 7626)
SADAP serves OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers in aerospace, automotive, and refrigeration, and are active in publicly funded R&D programs.
