Miki Pulley’s ALS couplings are general purpose power transmission couplings designed to transmit torque by connecting two shafts while damping system vibrations and accommodating misalignment. With a “Curved Jaw” design, ALS couplings feature a polyurethane elastomer element (called the spider) between two sintered aluminum hubs. The three-component assembly fits together with a jaw from each […]
PTDA business index above five-year average
The fourth quarter 2017 Sales History & Outlook Report (SHOR) released by the Power Transmission Distributors Association (PTDA) indicates the average PTDA distributors’ index for total sales during 2017 was 5.4 percent above 2016. PTDA manufacturers’ average index for total sales for 2017 had an even better result, up 8.6 percent from a year ago. […]
What is the difference between steady state and max torque
Bobby Watkins for Ruland Manufacturing on steady state and max torque: The difference between steady state and max torque. In many applications, there is a motor, which has a maximum torque rating, but it’s never used. Some people like to size their coupling based on max torque, and the coupling still may be able to handle it, […]
Shaft collars and couplings meet precise design requirements
Custom designed shaft collars and rigid couplings that solve specific mechanical drive or packaging system and conveyor component compatibility issues are available from Stafford Manufacturing Corp. of Wilmington, MA. Stafford Custom Shaft Collars & Couplings can be manufactured to precise design requirements from a range of materials in a variety of configurations with special bore […]
What are some different styles of disc couplings?
Disc couplings are an excellent choice when selected for the proper application. We asked Bobby Watkins of Ruland Manufacturing to give us some insight on general coupling selection. The following is an excerpt from the disc coupling section of his Webinar, Master Coupling Selection: A Guided Journey by Bobby Watkins. Specifically, Watkins covers different styles of […]
Are disc and bellows couplings similar?
Disc couplings are an excellent choice when selected for the proper application. We asked Bobby Watkins of Ruland Manufacturing to give us some insight on general coupling selection. The following is an excerpt from the disc coupling section of his Webinar, Master Coupling Selection: A Guided Journey by Bobby Watkins. “Disc couplings. The disc coupling […]
New EAL grease for ATB couplings
Klϋber Lubrication, a worldwide manufacturer of specialty lubricants, recently introduced a new environmentally acceptable lubricant (EAL) grease for articulated tug and barge (ATB) couplings – Klüberbio AM 12-501. Given the importance of selecting a performance lubricant for the coupling system that allows two vessels to stay connected while pitching independently, Klüberbio AM 12-501 is an […]
PTDA’s Power Transmission Handbook earns registration mark protection
Earlier in 2018, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office awarded PTDA a Class 16 registration mark for its Power Transmission Handbook, a text book first published in 1969 and now in its fifth iteration, packed with content for unbiased product training on 17 categories related to power transmission/motion control (PT/MC) products. Chapters include: fundamentals, bearings, […]
What do I need to know before selecting an Oldham coupling?
Oldham couplings are an excellent choice when selected for the proper application. We asked Bobby Watkins of Ruland Manufacturing to give us some insight on general coupling selection. The following is an excerpt from the Oldham coupling section of his Webinar, Master Coupling Selection: A Guided Journey by Bobby Watkins. Zero backlash Oldham couplings are […]
Do bellows couplings require precision alignment?
Bellows couplings are an excellent choice when selected for the proper application. We asked Bobby Watkins of Ruland Manufacturing to give us some insight on proper coupling selection. The following is an excerpt from the bellows coupling section of his Webinar, Master Coupling Selection: A Guided Journey by Bobby Watkins. Bellows couplings are for precise […]
