We are pleased to announce a sales partnership with MESYS AG of Switzerland to offer bearings and shaft design to compliment our gear tools. This company has a wealth of experience in software for machine elements and already has a solid customer base in Germany and Switzerland for these new products.
Download the demo software for bearings (32 bit or 64 bit) and shaft (32 bit or 64 bit) to try it out and appropriate documents. You can contact us to obtain a licence (please return your computer ID details obtained under ‘About’ in the MESYS software) and in relation to quotations. The associate documentation is also available for both the bearing and shaft tools.

The Release 4.0 of the Gear Production Suite was completed for distribution in December 2008. featuring a restructuring of the program operation to make the passing of data between modules more efficient. Read the rest of this story »

Release 3.0 contains a new module for the conception of planetary gear drives. This tool allows the concept design of a gearbox including components such as clutches, connections and multiple power inputs and outputs. The resulting power flows can be tested for various load levels. It also contains a new module for the design and rating of planetary gear systems. This tool can also calculate for multiple load cases.
