Interactive 3D catalog makes Concentric Maxi Torque bushings and pulleys easier to specify and procure

U.S. manufacturer of power transmission and motion control components Custom Machine & Tool Co. now offers design engineers an interactive 3D catalog featuring Concentric Maxi Torque keyless bushings and precision timing pulleys. The catalog was built with eCATALOG 3Dfindit by CADENAS — a digital-parts catalog platform that gives 3D CAD and engineering data to engineers, designers, and procurement teams for realtime product configuration. Data comes in more than 100 formats.

So now, engineers can configure and download 3D CAD models of the most common stock sizes directly from the CMT website without needing to call or wait for custom files. In fact, they can configure the exact part needed and download it in seconds. In this way, the catalog gives engineers a way to design machine axes faster.

The online catalog highlights CMT’s Concentric Maxi Torque system — a keyless hub-to-shaft connection to mount pulleys, gears, and other rotating components without complex routines to achieve alignment. Its fully reversible design also makes it suitable for applications with bidirectional motion. Design World has covered this technology and how it’s especially useful on machine axes that are very compact and difficult or impractical to services … for example, axes driven by stepmotors paired with belts. Here, the Concentric Maxi Torque remains secure so doesn’t need adjustments … even while preventing eventual misalignment or shaft damage.

While the catalog focuses on CMT’s in-stock program with the most common sizes, the Concentric Maxi Torque system is used across a wide range of custom products in automation, robotics, and general industrial equipment. Engineers can configure components and download 3D CAD models in more than 100 native and neutral file formats, including NX, Solid Edge, SOLIDWORKS, Catia, Creo, Autodesk Inventor, and more. The catalog gives engineers direct access to the CMT’s product models, helping them work faster and with more confidence in their design data.
