Full-Torque Nut Couplings
Hydraulic leaks are a drain on budgets and system productivity, but a new generation of threaded couplings is ready to combat them. Available on MegaCrimp® couplings for wire-braid hose and GlobalSpiral® couplings for spiral-wire hose, Full-Torque Nut couplings round out the complete Gates hydraulic fitting line. Its many advantages include: •Stronger than staked-nut fittings •Patented design […]
GLX Couplings from Gates
GLX Couplings are a new Gates product specifically designed for textile-reinforced hoses up to 1,000 psi working pressure. Their features include: • One-piece staked ferrule design • Smooth ferrule ID designed for textile-reinforced transfer hoses • Male pipe NPTF 30° cone seat and female JIC 37° flare swivel terminations • TuffCoat® plated steel offers rust […]
Stainless Steel Servo Insert Coupings
Bensenville, IL – Stainless steel SERVOMAX couplings from R+W feature a highly chemically resistant elastomer element that is press fit between two precision machined coupling halves, giving it zero backlash and guaranteed concentricity. The inserts, available in four different Shore hardnesses, depending on the damping and torque rigidity required, are heat treated within the precision […]
Improved Clamp Design for Flexible Beam Couplings
Marlborough, MA – Ruland Manufacturing Company has introduced a new clamp design for its zero-backlash flexible beam couplings. The couplings now clamp with a single screw on each end, which eases installation, and are balanced for increased rpm capability. The beam couplings now feature both a radial and cross-cut to enhance surface contact with the […]
High Performance from Miniature Disc Couplings
Marlborough, MA – Ruland offers miniature disc couplings both in single and double disc styles. Disc couplings are high performance motion control couplings with zero-backlash, excellent speed capabilities up to 10,000 rpm, strength and torsional stiffness characteristics, as well as low inertia for today’s highly responsive systems. Disc couplings are often used in servomotor and […]
