Igus Components Reduce Maintenance for Portable Racing Simulator
Greaves 3D Engineering, a British company specializing in precision engineering, has introduced “The Ultimate Drivers Rig,” a state-of-the-art racing car simulator designed for portability and professional performance. This innovative simulator can be folded and stored in a compact road case, allowing for easy transport to racetracks, trade shows, and corporate events.
Virtual End-of-Line Test
Tooth contact analysis is an integral part of the gear design process. With the help of these simulation tools, it is possible to calculate the excitation caused by a tooth contact (Ref. 1). Usually, the load-free transmission error or the total transmission error under load is used for this purpose. However, the calculation with the tooth contact analysis ZAKO3D allows only a quasi-static consideration of the excitation. To better evaluate the behavior in the overall system, it is therefore necessary to perform a dynamics simulation.

NES split-ring bearings offer greater thrust capacity
The NES split-ring bearing is a single-row, angular contact bearing which supports axial loads in both directions, thereby reducing overall size and weight compared to traditional duplex sets. Pair an NES split-ring and standard angular contact ball bearing for double the load capacity in the primary load direction. Contact NES to learn more.
