You may or may not know that AGMA manages the American Bearing Manufacturers Association, ABMA, similarly to AGMA. Because gears and bearings go together like “peas and carrots!” to borrow a phrase from one of my favorite movies. I thought that the GT audience would like an update on what is going on in the technical division of ABMA.

AGMA, and its member companies are busy helping develop, modify, and contribute to the international standards process.  Without the dedication of our U.S. delegates and the shadow technical committees supporting them, the AGMA methods and processes would not be incorporated in these international standards.  

If you are a true gear geek, you are probably aware of AGMA’s Fall Technical Meeting (FTM). However, we have true gear geeks attending the FTM for the first time each year, and we are thrilled to see that!
