Huco Dynatork has supplied its Multi-Beam coupler for use in a solar panel high-voltage capacitor manufactured by a Japanese consumer electronics company. The flexible misalignment coupling is used to connect the drive from the gearbox to a lead screw and had to be able to resist any current leakage. It is ideal for a variety […]
Servo Couplings Use Dampening Attributes For Vibrations
Specialist mechanical components supplier, Ondrives Ltd of Chesterfield, England have recently introduced a high quality range of servo-insert couplings into their extensive coupling range via their biggest ever catalogue, now that they have merged with sister company, Rino Industries Ltd. Typically, they are used in applications where vibrations and crushes may appear. The dampening attributes […]
Zero Backlash Coupling Ideal for Belt Driven Linear Actuators
Due to greater demands in modern machine design and construction, R+W has developed its EK7 series of SERVOMAX Zero Backlash Elastomer Couplings. This coupling was specifically designed to mount to hollow bores with an expanding tapered clamping element, making it ideal for belt driven linear actuators. The EK7 provides design engineers with a number of […]
Shoulder Couplings Ideal For Abrasive Surfaces
Victaulic now offers a new line of products for joining standard shouldered steel pipe. The product line features the Style SC77, a flexible coupling featuring Victaulic patented installation-ready technology, and a variety of prefabricated shouldered fittings designed to make pipe joining even more efficient. The product line is ideal for abrasive services, particularly in the […]
High Torque Motor Turns At Speeds Up To 3,500 RPM
Today’s turning centers can be economical without sacrificing power or precision. Demonstrating this is the Lynx 300, a new turning center from Doosan that’s just now entering the United States. The Lynx’s 20 Hp, high torque motor provides the power for heavy cuts and the speed to produce near-mirror finishes. Its 10″ diameter 3-jaw power […]
Torque Limiters that Keep Overload in Check for Heavy Equipment
A different approach is needed when designing mechanical torque limiters for high horsepower drives. The basic principles of mechanical torque limiter design are similar to those that have been known since some of the first machines were built, yet it remains a dynamic field. Function, space restrictions, safety considerations and continuously changing machinery design drive […]
A Novel Way To Use Jaw Couplings In Extreme Temperatures
The German couplings specialist, KTR, has come up with a novel way to use jaw couplings in temperatures too high for the elastomer materials conventionally used for coupling spiders. It has developed a spider made from “knitted” steel wire, similar to the steel wool used to clean pots and pans. Standard spiders are made from […]
Breakaway Connectors Allow A Quick Disconnect
ITT Interconnect Solutions offers a line of breakaway connectors. The Nemesis Series and MKJ Series breakaway connectors incorporate a simple push/pull mating mechanism to engage and disengage the connector systems. The coupling mechanism utilizes a canted spring design, which allows for a quick disconnect and ratings of more than 5000 cycles. The breakaway connectors also […]
LEM Engineers Invent Unique Magnetic Coupling Technology
LEM has introduced the first of its AC current sensor families based on Perfect Loop Technology. After calibration, the new RT series achieves absolute accuracy of better than 0,65% – including position error – making them the first split-core Rogowski coils to be suitable for use in Class 1 power devices. An imperfect coil structure […]
Corrosion-Resistant Couplings Suitable For Multiple Applications
A full line of shaft collars and couplings for pump drive and structural systems in water treatment, pollution control, and similar facilities is available from Stafford Manufacturing Corp. of Wilmington, Massachusetts. Stafford Corrosion-Resistant Collars and Couplings are offered in 303 and 316 stainless steel, brass, bronze, and other materials for various power transmission and structural […]
