We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Gearheads",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Manufacturingtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release HMI software complies with 21 CFR Part 11 from
Parker Electromechanical Automation USA, which we summarised at the time by saying "Software is claimed to offer the industry's most streamlined Windows-based HMI toolset for 21 CFR Part 11 compliance".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Planetary gearheads offer smooth running from
Wittenstein AG: "Helically geared, low-backlash planetary gearheads achieve torques of up to 6000Nm in single and two-stage gear head configurations for smoother running".
In September 2007, we covered the news from Parvalux Electric Motors
concerning its Brushless DC motors and controllers
- take a look at Wide range of brushless DC motors offered
which says: "A wide range of brushless DC motors and controllers listed in a new catalogue covers from stand-alone motors through to complete motor/controller/gearbox packages".
Take a look also at the news release from Parker Electromechanical Automation USA, Ironless linear positioners are low-cost,
as well as Increased CAD model downloads for QTC from Catalog Data Solutions (CDS),
and DC motors outperform conventional iron core models from Heason Technologies Group.
