Power Jacks has expanded its online 3D CADalogue at www.powerjacks.com with the addition of Neeter Drive bevel gearboxes. An online product configurator is an integral part of the CADalogue and this allows a user to view and configure a solid model of Neeter Drives gearboxes, online and in real-time, then download the required 3D solid model or 2D drawing.
Once a gearbox is selected, users can configure the technical specification for their exact requirements and generate a model. As well as the externals, the configurator also allow users to view the internal gear configuration by displaying the model with a transparent gear casing.
More than 20 model/drawing formats are supported, including SolidWorks, Pro-Engineer, SolidEdge, AutoCAD, Catia, Unigraphics and SDRC-Ideas. Users of all major CAD systems can download compatible files directly into their product designs, saving hours and improving accuracy. Another timesaving feature is the electronic RFQ (request for quotation) facility, which provides pricing and other information.
Gearboxes included in the CADalogue include: Neeter Drive range-N; series 35, 37, 38, 39 and 40; solid shaft and hollow shaft; gear ratios of 1:1, 1.5:1, 2:1, 3:1 and 4:1; two-, three- and four-way drive shaft configurations.
* Power Jacks has also announced that 3D CAD models of its EMA electric actuators are now available on its CADalogue.
