Time and time again, NHI demonstrated the unique ability to apply creative thinking and engineering expertise to design new parts and modify standard components into custom products. These innovations solve our customer’s problems and often contribute significant savings in both time and money to our customers.
A customer needed a low cost, simple transmission for a tiller. NHI designed a jackshaft by mounting two pulleys to a common hub. Combining “V” groove for forward drive and flat groove for reverse, we replaced two cast pulleys for a more compact, lower cost unit.

Instead of an expensive machined casting and separate pulley, NHI developed a single piece design for an outdoor power equipment drive. While realizing a large per piece cost reduction, the customer also reduced the number of manufacturing steps needed to assemble the final product, saving time and money.
