Making use of the existing EKL line of compact elastomer couplings, the SLE safety coupling offers a compact, flexible and vibration damping option with integral torque overload release. Designed for aggressive servo driven applications, the SLE is backlash free, relying on preloads and frictional connections, along with a precision molded, wear resistant, polyurethane insert to […]

Compact stainless steel bellows couplings
The BKS series of stainless steel, welded bellows couplings are up to 1/3 shorter in length, reducing moment of inertia and saving space. Manufactured in Germany, the BKS makes use of 1.4301 (304) stainless steel hubs, precision machined to a high level of concentricity. Laser welded while mounted onto a common shaft to guarantee straightness, […]
Oldham couplings: Not just for motion control applications
Oldham couplings are typically used in motion control applications where zero-backlash performance is required. However, these couplings are increasingly used as an alternative to straight jaw couplings on general industrial equipment such as pumps, valves, gearboxes, and conveyor systems due to their versatility, ease of assembly, and extended life if misalignment is present. The oldham […]
VULKAN Couplings unveils New Integrated Shaft Coupling Design
VULKAN Couplings (www.vulkan.com) has unveiled a new innovation of the Rato DS coupling that is directly connected to a composite shaft. Aside from being a torsional coupling, the combination of high radial stiffness and low bending and axial stiffness makes the Rato DS ideal to work as an integrated misalignment coupling when it is rigidly […]
