Huco Dynatork has supplied its Multi-Beam coupler for use in a solar panel high-voltage capacitor manufactured by a Japanese consumer electronics company. The flexible misalignment coupling is used to connect the drive from the gearbox to a lead screw and had to be able to resist any current leakage. It is ideal for a variety […]

Zero Maintenance Bearings– New Option For Schmidt Offset Couplings
Zero maintenance bearings are now available as an option for Schmidt Offset couplings from Zero-Max. This new coupling feature eliminates periodic coupling lubrication and the resulting system downtime. Schmidt Offset couplings deliver precision for parallel offset shafts. They transmit constant angular velocity and torque in a range of parallel shaft misalignments. They are used in […]
Explosion proof couplings
Flexible couplings are a critical component for applications involving potentially explosive materials found in automotive paint and cleaning stations, chemical plants, and powder mixing areas. A lack of radially flexible elements in shaft linkage can result in high radial loads on shaft bearings, eventually leading to heat generation and bearing failure, making flexible shaft couplings […]
Servo Couplings Use Dampening Attributes For Vibrations
Specialist mechanical components supplier, Ondrives Ltd of Chesterfield, England have recently introduced a high quality range of servo-insert couplings into their extensive coupling range via their biggest ever catalogue, now that they have merged with sister company, Rino Industries Ltd. Typically, they are used in applications where vibrations and crushes may appear. The dampening attributes […]
Zero Backlash Coupling Ideal for Belt Driven Linear Actuators
Due to greater demands in modern machine design and construction, R+W has developed its EK7 series of SERVOMAX Zero Backlash Elastomer Couplings. This coupling was specifically designed to mount to hollow bores with an expanding tapered clamping element, making it ideal for belt driven linear actuators. The EK7 provides design engineers with a number of […]
