Thomas & Betts Corporation (www.tnb.com), a world leader in the manufacture, design and marketing of electrical components for construction, industrial and utility markets, has introduced the T&B Fitting XD Expansion/Deflection Coupling, which supports thermal expansion and movement in conduit runs to deliver a watertight and flexible connection. The new coupling features a protective stainless-steel inner […]
VULKAN Couplings unveils the VULKARDAN G 84
VULKAN Couplings (www.vulkan.com) is all geared to launch the VULKARDAN G 84 Couplings at the Koremarine in Busan on 26 to 29 October 2011. Specifically designed for electric motors and generator drives in the medium power range, VULKARDAN G 84 supplements the company’s VULKARDAN G product range, which has been released for marine drive components […]
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 […]
Couplings reduce thermal transfer
ServoClass® Couplings from Zero-Max reduce heat transfer from servo motors to driven shafts, reducing heat transfer and variations in system accuracy caused by thermal expansion. It features stainless steel discs designed into the center of the coupling that dissipate heat generated from a connected servo motor. These couplings also provide high torsional stiffness, zero backlash […]
RR Fisher & Co Releases R+W Safety Couplings For Particle Measuring Systems
RR Fisher & Co. Ltd. the released its ATEX certified R+W safety couplings for Sympatec’s particle measuring systems. These safety couplings offer an ATEX design with high-temperature steel plug segment. Sympatec’s particle measuring systems are specifically designed to detect particles in a nano range up to 10mm. The systems identify application in quality assurance in […]
Two-Year Project Produces Safety Coupling 60-70% Lighter
The German couplings specialist R+W has developed a safety clutch which, it claims, is 60–70% lighter than conventional designs, and allows smaller clutches to be used in some applications. The SL series clutch, which made its debut at the recent Motek exhibition on Germany, is the result of a two-year collaborative project with universities. The […]
Couplings Target High Corrosion, Long Service Applications
Eaton Corp. developed a new series of ISO 16028 stainless steel quick-disconnect/non-spill couplings incorporating standard anti-extrusion Teflon seals and Viton O-rings. The new FD89 – 2000 Series couplings provide with push-to-connect latching, flush-face valving and incorporate a safety sleeve lock. They are targeted toward applications that require corrosion resistance and long service life, the company said. The […]
Torque Limiters Allows For Rapid & Automatic Recovery
R+W America’s new torque limiter, the SL Series, utilizes a proven spring-loaded ball detent system, along with a previously patented preload for zero-backlash operation. To achieve its target of 50-percent weight reduction, R+W embarked on a two-year collaborative effort with local universities, designing the product from the ground up rather than simply redesigning or optimizing […]
New Rotary Couplings Built For Turret Style CNC Lathes
IBAG North America has added a new rotary coupling system that allows the use of their popular Micro Line high speed spindles in turret style machines. The rotary coupling provides support for all electrical and pneumatic requirements for the high speed spindles, with models available to support 2 or 4 spindles. Built with a IP67 […]
Servo Coupling Handles 2.9x More Lateral Misalignment
The trend in industry to process more material faster and more efficiently calls for a high-torque, high-misalignment, low-inertia servo coupling, with minimal compromise to torsional stiffness. Stainless-steel bellows couplings have the highest torsional stiffness of commercially available flexible couplings, making them the best choice for aggressive servo-driven applications. But in cases where the two shafts […]
