"Our new online CAD Catalog makes ordering easier because our customers can make simple option choices and see the configured universal joint they specified," said Perry Sainati, President of Belden.  "The addition of the PARTsolutions online CAD Catalog makes it easier for engineers to specify Belden products and use them in their designs."

"PARTsolutions is excited to partner with Belden and looks forward to serving Belden and its customers across many industries with the best digital product catalog technology and lead generation network available," commented Rob Zesch, President of PARTsolutions.

PARTsolutions will also provide Belden products digitally in various online market places including the Autodesk® Manufacturing Supplier Content Center, Machine Design® Magazine CAD Library and others to increase awareness and sales of their products.  Belden products will also be available within PARTsolutions enterprise solutions, allowing Belden to introduce their products to new prospects worldwide independent of the CAD technology they may be using.

Belden has online RFQ support and application briefs to assist its customers and distributors with their requirements and application assistance.  The new 3D Catalog provides another immediate service and a fast and efficient way for designers to utilize Belden's joints in their designs, delivering both 3D models and 2D drawings.

PARTsolutions has Web-enabled the Belden collection of single and double universal joints available immediately.  The online catalog will grow over time, allowing prospective customers to graphically configure components with the sizes and features they need.  Once configured, PARTsolutions creates high quality, native CAD data including the accurate Belden part number, which is downloaded by the designer.
