The Huco-Flex M Membrane coupler line has been expanded to include customized "cardan assemblies." The flex coupler itself was originally intended for demanding motion control applications that require high torsional stiffness, reliability, and long life. In their simplest form, Cardan coupler assemblies incorporate two single-stage Huco-Flex M couplers connected by a spacer. This design allows accommodation of radial misalignment between shafts in an amount proportional to the length of the spacer--typically on the order of 0.01 inch. Huco Engineering Industries, Product Code 4177.
Our LinkedIn systems and product design engineering group discusses if they are happy with their decision of remaining a technical contributor instead of becoming a manager.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
