State of the Gear Industry – Last Chance

Your voice is important to us, and we’d like to encourage you to participate in our annual state-of-the-gear-industry survey, if you haven’t already done so.

The annual survey gives us a snapshot of how gear manufacturers are doing – financially, technologically – and in these trying times, emotionally! Your input is extremely important to us and will help us present the best possible results for the industry.

Our coverage will appear in the next issue of Gear Technology, but time to participate is running out. The survey will be closed at the end of the day on Thursday, January 28. Thank you for your help!

Read More	Forging Precision to Save Time & Money High-precision forging processes can significantly improve consistency and durability, which, in turn, can reduce required cycle times and improve part performance in the field. When you’re looking at 100,000 runs, near-net gears require less surface stock, which, in turn, require less material and machining time. Learn how you can get more near-net value with our white paper. Download White Paper

Elastomer Coupling with Fully Split Clamping Hubs EKH elastomer couplings feature fully split clamping hubs which allow for quick lateral installation and removal between shafts without the need to move or realign the connected components. These precision machined hubs offer backlash free, low inertia torque transmission through calibrated and wear-resistant elastomer inserts.
