By David W. Neville, S.S. White Technologies, Inc. In homes, small businesses, and large industrial settings, plumbing systems and drains need cleaning. In many of these settings drain cleaning consists of pouring chemicals down the pipes every few years. In other places and businesses, drain cleaning is a much more substantial job. Restaurants and food […]
Coupling-shaft-coupling arrangement from Twiflex
A coupling-shaft-coupling arrangement is commonly called a cardan shaft or if the couplings are rubber based, a flexible shaft. The majority of the couplings supplied by Twiflex are for use in a shaft arrangement. Shafts are used when there is a need to bridge a distance between two pieces of equipment. The cardan shaft arrangement […]
Zero backlash in Miki Pulley CSZ electromagnetic clutches
Miki Pulley’s CSZ Electromagnetic Clutches have a zero backlash design. They provide an efficient connection between a motor and a load with low inertia, minimal drag and zero backlash. Miki Pulley CSZ Clutches function utilizing the magnetic force generated by the energized coil providing engagement of input and output members of the clutch. They feature […]
SF type gear spindles for mine rope shovel applications
A global mine rope shovel manufacturer required a robust replacement coupling solution that could accommodate a high degree of misalignment due to the deflection that occurs as the massive machines twist and flex during loading, unloading and rotating. The large electric shovels, weighing over 860 tons, with payload capacities over 120 tons, remove overburden and […]
Gear grip couplings in mulch blower application
A leading manufacturer of mulch blowers and hydro seeders needed a coupling with a large misalignment capability for one of its bark and mulch blowers. The commercial blower is used to spread mulch for landscaping, erosion control and other applications. The shaft-to-shaft coupling is positioned between a diesel drive engine and a LOB style blower. […]
How flexible shafts improve flight
In the history of aerospace manufacturing, there have been several innovative technologies that have changed the shape of flight. Some of these technologies aren’t well known or influential on their own, like the propeller or jet engine, but are instead innovations that occurred behind the scenes, quietly enabling steady improvements to aerospace technologies in various […]

Custom CD coupling from Zero-Max for more parallel misalignment capacity
The challenge: connected motion components in a composite fiber processing system needed extra parallel misalignment capacity to prevent premature bearing failure and oil leakage. The solution: a custom, shortened Double Flex CD Coupling from Zero-Max. In this application, the original machine design called for a single flex, steel disc coupling to connect the system motor […]
