Machined Spring Features HELI-CAL Flexure
SANTA MARIA, CA—The HELI-CAL® Flexure is a flexible helix (curved beam) machined into a unique configuration that incorporates special design requirements, performance features and/or characteristics. The material is basically unlimited. When used as a spring, the multi-functional flexure provides desired and predictable elastic performance in compression, extension, torsion, lateral bending and lateral translation modes. One […]
Things to Consider When Choosing Flexible Shaft Couplings
T.E.A Transmissions says machine designers should consider torsional stiffness, backlash, torque and attachment style when looking to specify flexible shaft couplings. According to T.E.A Transmissions, its bellows couplings have high torsional stiffness and can be used in any drive system where high levels of motion integrity are essential. The company says bellow couplings are backlash […]
