HELI-CAL® Flexure coupling
The demands put upon today’s design engineers seem to increase yearly. It is little wonder engineers are reaching for the Rolaids with one hand and the assistance of industry specialists with the other. Clearly the pressure is on engineers to produce designs that create competitive edge. Designs that provide a competitive edge combine simplicity of […]
For the Best Load Control Look to Bellows Couplings
Properly selected bellows couplings result in the best control over the load in any servo application. Here are tips to ensure you choose the right size for the application. Bellows couplings help maintain tight controls over loads. For years, bellows couplings have been a mainstay for efficient motion systems because they offer high torsional stiffness, […]
Handbook for Mechanical Torque Limiters
As a part of a series of technical handbooks developed for the European manufacturing industry, R+W has released a new handbook for the design and application of safety and overload couplings. Covering the very basics of what torque limiters are, the varieties available, and why they are used, all the way though complex theories and […]
Test Drive an igus Sample
EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. – igus® Inc. has announced it is giving away free cable carrier and continuous-flex cable samples as part of its newly-launched Sample Test Drive Program. The program is aimed at those who want to evaluate the performance of igus’ products before purchasing. It includes a free technical consultation with igus over the […]
Special Couplings for High Voltage Application
To meet the specific motion control needs of high voltage systems Huco Dynatork is exporting its expertise to Japan. Its customer specialises in the design and manufacture of high voltage capacitors, one application for which is in an electronic assembly for plasma screens. A miniature misalignment coupling is also part of this assembly but because […]
Sliding Disc Coupling Provides Design Flexibility
The design and manufacture of customised linear positioning systems on short lead times is key to LinTech’s success. This California-based company offers an exceptionally wide range of options enabling its customers to create the optimum system for the job. To compensate for misalignment between the motor shaft and screw (or belt) drive shaft extension LinTech’s […]
Couplings deal effectively with hostile environments
The sorts of hostile environment faced routinely by the military present challenges for engineering as well as personnel. An army has to be totally effective whether operating in deserts, jungles, swamps, mountains or arctic conditions. Similarly, the HUCO Dynatork coupling selected for position sensing in a rocket launcher control system had to prove its reliable […]
Multibeam Production cuts days o hours
By applying value stream mapping Huco Dynatork has made radical changes to the way it manufactures its range of Multibeam couplings, increasing capacity, simplifying flow and drastically cutting lead times in the process. It also opens up new opportunities for customers with special design requirements. The Multibeam is one of Huco Dynatork’s most popular product […]
