Passion
Gears are where physics turn elegance and where a few microns of optimization turns a good design into a great one.
Knowhow shared is know how valued. I have trained hundreds of engineers across Asia, the Americas and Europe, written technical and informative papers, and helped improve ISO standards (within ISO/TC 60/SC 2/WG 6).
Not only to build a reputation, but because passing on what I know is part of the work and legacy.
“... Dear Hanspeter, our many conversations over the years have always been truly inspiring, marked by clarity of thought, technical depth, and a genuine interest in people and collaboration. ... encouraged us to pursue our path at ZHAW and to further develop our research in gears ...”

Experience
With education from ETH and NUS, I began in FEM analysis and moved into design and optimization of geared systems, from 1 mm plastic gears to 3.5 m bearings.
Over 30 years, I’ve worked across concept design to failure analysis, simulation to physical validation and ideal models to real world uncertainty.
I’ve led projects from €400 validations to multi million € systems. Clients trust me to deliver clarity, by combining engineering judgment with deep analysis.

Clarity
Initial customer requests arrive often fuzzy. Unclear symptoms, incomplete specifications, no finalized work package dscription. Getting to the right question and honing in on a sensible scope of work is central to a consultant work.
In every project, I explain findings, methods and limitations. What is understood has value.
My goal is to make clients understand their problem so well they no longer need me. That is why they come back.

Your independence
Independence is at the core of EES Gear business model, it is my commitment to my clients and to myself.
A long term relationship between consultant and client requires trust, and this requires that advice is given without hidden agenda.
Clients benefit most from a consultant who supports their objectives rather than one who creates dependency.
