We hope 2020 brings new, innovative, and creative designs for you. To help you be a successful designer, we\u2019ve created a list of tips to help you design with MISUMI. Check them out below! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.<\/strong> Need inspiration? Be sure to check out MISUMI\u2019s inCAD Library<\/a>. It is an application library that shows a variety of MISUMI components in full automation assemblies. Download the CAD model of the entire application for free as well as the Bill of Materials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. <\/strong>Save design time with Rapid Design<\/a>! It is an add-on tool to SOLIDWORKS that allows you to import MISUMI component CAD models without having to download them from the website. inCAD Library assemblies and components can easily be modified and used over and over again in different concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. <\/strong>Be sure to check the voltage! Voltage ratings are listed on our website with each applicable component. Japanese standard voltage is 100 Volt. Some components may require a transformer, like the part below in which the Voltage rating is 100 V.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. <\/strong>Keyways are a handy alteration for many applications. Here are the MISUMI standard keyway dimensions below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6.<\/strong> Not all dimensions on MISUMI parts have defined tolerances. If the tolerances are not listed, they are the medium tolerance class. Below are the standard manufacturing tolerances:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
