Marco Gohs

Marco Gohs is an academic staff member at the Institute for Machine Elements and Sealing Technology, University of Stuttgart. His research focuses on advanced sealing technologies, including PTFE Sleeve Seals, Back-Structured Shaft Seals (B3S), and elastomer-based sealing solutions. He specializes in applying finite element analysis (FEM) and laser engraving techniques to optimize seal performance under dynamic and static conditions. His work bridges material science, tribology, and additive manufacturing to improve seal reliability and efficiency in industrial applications.

Education details are not explicitly provided in the text, but his research indicates expertise in mechanical engineering and materials science disciplines. His recent publications emphasize multiscale modeling of tribological systems, 3D-printed seal adaptations, and experimental validation of seal structures using advanced optical methods like frustrated total internal reflection and particle image velocimetry (PIV).

Research highlights include developing stamped and laser-engraved back-pumping structures for PTFE seals, evaluating 3D-printed rotary shaft seals for rapid prototyping, and numerical/experimental analyses of elastomer seal mechanics. His contributions address critical challenges in sealing technology, such as balancing friction, pressure control, and material durability under varying operational loads.
