‘Gearbox’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release Centa offers bespoke transmission designs from Centa Transmissions, which we summarised at the time by saying "Centa Transmissions can create bespoke powertrain designs for wind, wave, tidal and solar power systems.". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Nord subassemblies include gearbox and motor from Nord Drivesystems: "As part of its range of Nordbloc industrial gear units for torque output from 60,000 to 200,000Nm, Nord supplies modular subassemblies.".

In October 2009, we covered the news from NSK UK - take a look at NSK to show fuel-efficient automotive technologies which says: "NSK will exhibit at the 41st Tokyo Motor Show, which is scheduled to be held from 21 October until 4 November.".

Take a look also at the news release from Renishaw, Renishaw TRS2 saves Lamborghini EUR150K a year , as well as Gearbox monitoring system reduces downtime from Schaeffler (UK), and Ruland introduces miniature couplings from Ruland Manufacturing Co.
