New gearbox runs smooth, quiet and with more torque
The new AE series uses a patented one-piece shaft carrier design, and is supported with an oversized ball bearing straddle mount to provide more radial and axial loading capacity. Its stainless-steel output housing and patented sealing technology makes it a versatile, low-cost servo grade gearbox. Its new AE planet gears and greater tooth-to-tooth contact ratio make for more than 100 percent torque capacities versus other spur-gearing geometry. It has an optimized Helix angle that makes it run smooth and quiet, even at extreme speeds. It can go up to 10,000 rpms input with less than 8 arc-min and less than 56 dB. It is available in seven sizes (AE 050, 070, 090, 120, 155, 205 and 235), and is equipped with every single stage ratio (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10:1). It has more binary (double stage) ratios than others of its type. It's covered by a two-year, tip-to-toe warranty and delivery is guaranteed within two weeks or it's free.

Unlike his friends in engineering programs, blogger Jon Titus had little need for calculus except in a few of his college physical-chemistry labs and classes.
In the wake of the Chevy Volt fire investigations, sales are down, and General Motors' (GM) CEO Dan Akerson is blaming the downturn on a spate of bad publicity.
Thanks to embedded electronics, medical devices are getting smaller and smarter than ever. Pacemakers and implantable defibrillators are now able to call physicians. MRIs, CT scanners, and ultrasound machines are gaining mobility. And the venerable Band-Aid may soon be able to detect illnesses ranging from fevers to heart arrhythmias. On February 21, join Design News senior editor Charles Murray for a wide-ranging discussion, "Embedded Angles for Medical Products," which will explore the latest developments in medical electronics. The discussion will examine advances in medical device technology and offer an inside look at the embedded electronics behind it.
