Additionally, KHK USA can also produce custom gears for designs not offered in the stock catalog.” With convenient web based shopping and free 3D CAD downloads, KHK USA offers the design engineer all the tools needed to quickly size components, select them for their design and get samples shipped right away.. 

“We’re delighted to have been selected by KHK USA.,” said John Major, CEO CDS. “As product selection and buying continues to change and evolve, sales and marketing organizations need to continually come up with ways to get in front of the selection and buying cycle. KHK USA is doing just that, via an online product catalog and CAD downloads that ensure their products are readily found, selected and designed-in. Downloading product CAD models save designers and buyers time. Of the many types of online marketing content (e.g. white papers, case studies, brochures, videos, demos, recorded webinars, reviews, CAD model downloads, etc.) only one is known to lead to a sale  nearly 50% of the time!  CAD downloads may be the most effective online marketing tool available to industrial suppliers.”
