Synchronous drive's design slashes noise. (Goodyear introduces Eagle Pd drive system)

From: Design News | Date: February 3, 1997| Author: | Copyright information

Goodyear has introduced a synchronous drive system which cuts noise generation and reduces energy consumption and maintenance costs. The Eagle Pd drive system uses a unique offset helical-tooth design to cut noise by 17 to 19 dBa over conventional synchronous designs. The initial Eagle Pd drive system will offer horsepower capacity ranging from 0.05 to 550 hp.

Lincoln, NE--Goodyear has developed a new line of synchronous drives that produce 17 to 19 dBA less noise than conventional synchronous designs.

Scheduled for introduction at the National Design Engineering Show in March, ...
