‘Torsional Rigidity’
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 November 2009, we covered the news from R+W Coupling Technology
- take a look at R+W couplings have heavy-duty torque ratings
which says: "R+W has introduced BK3 couplings with heavy-duty torque ratings and high-strength conical clamping hubs for high-torque servo gearboxes. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Flexicon, Flexicon enhances range of compression fittings,
as well as Conductive compounds reduce static noise from RTP Company,
and Festo develops low-cost electric actuator from Festo.
