Gates Industrial Corporation continues to invest in and has expanded its Carbon Drive product portfolio. The company is introducing next-generation belts and other components to enable advances in bicycle drivetrain design and meet growing global demand.
Motion Industries, Inc., has named
Gates Corporation “2021 Supplier of the Year.” The award recognizes companies that have
shown exceptional commitment to Motion through quality products and services, as well as
earning the highest score in the multi-faceted Supplier Stratification rating system. The
presentation took place May 3rd at Motion’s headquarters in Birmingham.
Gates has announced the launch of Gates Design Power, a new software platform offering multiple digital design tools to support the engineering and specification of belt-drive systems across a broad array of applications, making the process easier and more robust than ever before.
V-belts look like relatively benign and simple pieces of equipment. They're basically a glorified rubber band, right? Need a replacement? Just measure the top width and circumference, find another belt with the same dimensions, and slap it on the drive. There's only one problem: that approach is about as wrong as you can get.
As with just about everything else
in the manufacturing world — and
all which that universe entails — it
depends. After all, that’s why the art
of manufacturing is a process — not
a one-system-fits-all discipline. Yes,
once that process has been properly
designed and correctly implemented
for a given manufacturing production
need, it may well run like the astest,
smoothest cookie-cutter-type operation
ever devised.
