Software Platform Offers Belt System Design

May 20, 2022
Gates' digital toolkit consists of six modules, including four new applications.

Design Power is 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.

This new digital toolkit consists of six modules, including four all-new applications and substantially upgraded versions of Gates digital tools, Design IQTM and Design Flex ProTM. Among the all-new modules is an industry-first Mobility Drive Analysis tool.

The Design Power platform is designed to provide application-specific drive systems, ultimately improving safety and operating costs, while reducing energy consumption and downtime in their operations.
