Timken BWLC (bellows clamp) Series coupling

January 19, 2021 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

Timken-bwlc

The BWLC (Bellows Clamp) Series coupling specifically addresses higher torque and bore capacities in the area of motion control. The BWLC Series offers the highest amount of torsional stiffness for accuracy and repeatability. The BWLC Series coupling features a corrosion-resistant steel bellow and aluminum or steel hubs. The BWLC Series also has a torque capacity […]

The C-Flex Lattice Servo and the C-Flex Lattice

January 13, 2021 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

MetricLatticeCoupling-1100x302

Couplings are revolutionary, patented designs which combine the best characteristics of bellows, disc, and beam couplings into a single integrated component. Designed to couple two rotating shafts together, they can accommodate misalignments far greater than other couplings on the market, while transmitting high torque loads with zero backlash. Their construction provides for a low moment […]

Heavy-duty shaft coupling strategies

January 4, 2021 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

Ringfeder-logo-screen

Move beyond traditional coupling designs to improve performance and cut costs Heavy-duty shaft couplings have traditionally had a couple of defining design characteristics. For one, these couplings usually rely on keyed shaft connections. For another, they tend to be over-engineered with regard to stiffness. In many ways, this design approach makes perfect sense. Keyed connections have […]

Locking assemblies: beyond the basics

December 30, 2020 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

Ringfeder-locking-assemblies

Although numerous methods exist for coupling two components, choosing the best option for the intended application requires an understanding of all available technologies. For example, when clamping a hub onto a shaft or axle, splined or keyway-based couplings are a popular choice. Another traditional method of connecting gears to shafts involves shrink fitting, which uses temperature differences […]

Intelligent wear protection from Voith

December 17, 2020 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

Voith-FlexPad-image

Resolving issues with smarter design The Voith FlexPad Roll End Hub (REH) design greatly increases hub body operational life through a significant reduction in wear. In steel mills work rolls are changed regularly. This requires some clearance between roll end hubs (REH) and work roll ends. The clearance leads to wear and continuously growing play, […]
