UK-based PTG Holroyd has announced that going forward, all models in its TG Series of ultra-precise helical rotor and thread grinding machines will be equipped with the Siemens digitally native Sinumerik One CNC as standard. 

This paper presented some steps to get more insight into the effect of meshing damping on the dynamic response and noise emission of a two-stage gearbox transmission system. For this purpose, two variants of the model with different gear materials, one with plastic gears and one with steel gears, were considered. Both variants were designed for the same number of cycles of operation with similar root and flank safeties. The forced response analysis of the models was carried out and the exciting reaction bearing forces were calculated to evaluate which model can achieve better NVH characteristics results with lower noise emission from the housing.

2023 is shaping up to be our planet’s hottest year on record, and the wind energy industry is feeling the heat. The GWEC (Global Wind Energy Council) says that the rate of wind turbine installations will need to quadruple globally by the end of the decade if we’re to achieve the IRENA’s (International Renewable Energy Agency) goal of net zero carbon emissions by 2050—and keep the average annual temperature worldwide from increasing more than the predicted 1.5° C. Fortunately, “net zero” commitments are gathering global momentum. Before year’s end, total global windpower is expected to reach a historic milestone of 1 TW of installed capacity, eliminating 1.2 billion tons of CO2 annually, roughly the equivalent of all the carbon emissions of South America.
