Gears and bearings can only be arranged so many ways, after all. You'd think by now that we'd have discovered every possible way to make mechanical devices as strong and efficient as possible.

We all have a friend, relative or acquaintance who always seems to have the right connection, no matter what you need.

The American Gear Manufacturers Association recently held our biennial trade show, the Motion+Power Technology Expo. Although it was a smaller, quieter show than normal, it was well worthwhile for those who were able to make it.

The Motion + Power Technology Expo takes place September 13-16 in St. Louis. It's going to be a different kind of trade show than most people have ever experienced.

The core of our mission here at Power Transmission Engineering is to publish information related to the technology of mechanical power transmission, and we're always looking for ways to expand and improve how we do so.

In May, Gov. Mike Parson of Missouri sat down and recorded a video on behalf of AGMA's upcoming Motion+Power Technology Expo

I went to pick up a pizza the other day and had a hard time finding a spot in the restaurant's lot. I was a little surprised by this, because I personally haven't eaten in a restaurant in about a year. But there were lots of people inside, eating at tables - acting almost as if life were normal.

Power Transmission Engineering is looking for a few good writers.

Energy consumption isn't just an issue at home, though. It's one of today's key issues facing individuals, businesses and governments all over the world.

Welcome to the last issue of the year for Power Transmission Engineering. It's been a tough slog for everyone, and we're glad you stuck through it with us.
