A leading packager of reciprocating compressor equipment required a reliable coupling solution for its line of compressor packages used at natural gas vehicle (NGV) refueling stations. These stations are needed to support the growing number of natural gas powered municipal bus and truck fleets as well as passenger vehicles. The multi-stage, skid-mounted compressors feed the […]

Coupling application profile: power plant induced draft fans
A major global industrial fan OEM needed a replacement coupling solution for an induced draft fan drive at a large power plant. The fan maintains system pressure slightly below atmospheric pressure on a coal-fired boiler at the facility. The existing fan drive used an old gear coupling design which had reached the end of its […]
Elastomeric couplings stabilize hydraulic fracturing pumps
Extracting natural gas from underground shale formations is done via high-pressure pumping equipment that injects a specialized mixture of water, sand and chemical additives into vertical, horizontal or multi-lateral well bores. These high pressures can lead to vibration and other damage to the truck-mounted hydraulic fracturing pump units. A major manufacturer needed reliable couplings for […]
