New coupling technologies offer more support for encoder requirements and washdown settings

April 3, 2020 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

The location of mechanical couplings — connecting rotating shafts powered by electric motors and fairly close to the loads being moved or manipulated — makes it an ideal place to optimize the performance of machine axes. No wonder that our 2020 Design World Trends survey of industry experts indicates an uptick in innovation related to […]

What are couplings for power-transmission drive shafts?

May 2, 2018 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

FAQ power-transmission couplings-for-high-torque-power-transmission

Updated May 2019 || As outlined in our coverage of couplings for motion control — here at this couplingtips.com article — couplings connect rotating shafts powered by a drive of some type — often an electric motor. All couplings serve to transmit drive torque and angular velocity. But applications for motion control (such as axes […]

Machines use Zero-Max CD couplings for component balancing

April 23, 2018 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

Machines use Zero-Max CD couplings for component balancing

Now some balancing machines incorporate pre-balanced CD Couplings from Zero-Max to get reliable system performance. Prebalancing aids on-machine trim balancing during assembly into the balance machine. CD Couplings have a combination of operating characteristics that support reliable automotive-component balancing. Making this possible is the coupling’s proprietary Composite Disc pack which in this application is designed […]
