Miki Pulley introduces its Jaw Type shaft coupling to the U.S. market
Miki Pulley is introducing its Jaw Type, High RPM coupling for direct sale to OEM’s in North America. This ALS-SGN model handles speeds to 22,000 RPM. Designed for use in the main spindle shaft on CNC machining centers, the Miki Pulley ALS-SGN coupling uses unique taper-lock hubs. This hub design ensures concentricity and rotational balance […]
As applications change, so do their couplings
There are a wide variety of couplings in the world, each suited for its own purpose in countless different applications. As these applications change, so must their couplings. Some companies are looking to cut costs, while others are willing to spend more to upgrade to couplings that better fit their needs. Gear and grid coupling […]
Step-Flex couplings reduce resonance in stepper motor ball screw assemblies
Mechanical resonance in motion systems can cause, not only unpleasant noise, but can lead to oscillations in the machine that reduce the positional accuracy of the system. This oscillation can also cause the system to take too long to find its correct positioning and further degrade performance. In rare cases where extreme oscillation is present, […]
Shaft Coupling Solves Resonance Problems in Ball Screws
Miki Pulley has introduced its Step-Flex Coupling for direct sale to OEM’s in North America. The Step-Flex is an altogether new class of shaft coupling. This design was conceived to eliminate resonance in stepper motor ball screw assemblies. The two part elastomer element combination dampens vibration caused by the actuator carrier struggling to find its […]
