Romax Announces New Gearbox, Driveline Design Product

By DE Editors

Romax Technology has launched a new concept design software package that the company says can increase speed, quality, creativity and innovation when designing gearboxes and drivelines.

Called Concept, the new product streamlines the end-to-end planning to manufacture process. It was developed in close collaboration with engineers from large ground vehicle, wind energy and industrial equipment companies.

The drag and drop design environment enables rapid creation of concept models. It provides semi-automated sizing, definition and rating of gears, shafts and bearings, with advanced 3D visualization capability allowing evaluation and manipulation of key parameters. Concept also utilizes Romax's analytical capabilities to enable initial NVH assessments, as well as preliminary mechanical design assessments of alternative concepts.

It is applicable for any gear, shaft and bearing system application, from power tools to mining equipment and from complex automotive planetary automatic transmissions to the largest wind turbine gearboxes.

Romax also announced a new capability in the company's flagship products, RomaxDesigner and RomaxWIND. This enhanced capability for improved manufacturability of end-product includes a suite of tools that enables the gear manufacturing process to be considered as part of the gear design and analysis activities, the company says.
