Tuesday, February 19, 2008 12:00PM EST

Today’s designers choose from a variety of technologies for transmitting power in mechanical systems. With increasing demands to optimize systems for efficiency, noise, package size and low maintenance, choosing the right power transmission technology for the job is a challenge. Brent Oman, who has over 20 years of drive design experience with Gates Corporation, will share his knowledge about selecting power transmission solutions. The presentation will review the pros and cons of different technologies and demonstrate the various capabilities of belt drive systems in particular.

Topics in this 1-hour webinar will include:

  • Information needed to design a power transmission drive (loads, speeds, geometry, etc.)
  • Descriptions of power transmission drive options including roller chain, gears and belts
  • Advantages and Disadvantages of each drive technology
  • Belt drive solutions for improved efficiency, noise, positioning and maintenance
  • Design support options for belt drives including software programs, maintenance seminars and training courses
