PT/MC industry supports PT WORK Force with nearly $280,000 in contributions in 2019
More than 40% of power transmission/motion control (PT/MC) employers have no dedicated human resources staff according to a survey completed by PT WORK Force in early 2019. For these companies, the recruitment and retention activities — essential for growth — are handled by someone for whom HR is not their primary skill set. This challenge […]

Sandy Sullivan receives PTDA Foundation’s 2019 Wendy B. McDonald Award
Wendy B. McDonald was one of the power transmission/motion control industry’s pioneers. To honor her memory, the PTDA Foundation established the Wendy B. McDonald Award in 2014. The award is given to a woman who has established herself as a critical contributor to her company’s success and has affected positive change within the power transmission/motion […]
Zero-Max offset couplings with large range of parallel misalignment capacity
Zero-Max Schmidt Offset Couplings provide machine designers with a proven method to ensure machines operate with constant phase accuracy and constant speed throughout the rotation and cycle of the machine. Where precise performance of system components is required and reduced machine size is important, these Offset Couplings provide a solution. They are available in sizes […]
Safe dimensioning of locking assemblies for extreme loads in applications with belt conveyor pulleys
Ignoring induced forces or the faulty design of belt conveyor pulleys can cause high repair costs. Resulting damage may show itself in shaft breakage, axial movement or plastic deformation of the pulley bottom. Apart from that, downtime losses accrue which can quickly amount to several millions. For instance, the capacity of a large ship loader […]
Jaure MT gear couplings from Regal
The Jaure MT range meets the AGMA standard, meaning that the MT coupling sleeves and drilled holes will fit any AGMA coupling halves. This ensures the interchangeability by coupling halves. Standard and special designs couplings are available. These can be in any required size to meet the needs of the most demanding applications. The Jaure […]
Vulkan couplings and the largest suction dredger in Asia
In 2016, Inai Kenanga, with 33,356 m3 hopper volume the largest suction dredger in Asia and the third largest worldwide, was put into operation. At that time VULKAN supplied a whole range of couplings for the drive train and the sand pump gearboxes, including RATO R and S couplings for the propeller drive and the […]
Flexible disc and bellows couplings from R+W
For the past 30 years or more, designers of highly dynamic servo drive systems have been turning to bellows couplings to optimize the stiffness, inertia, and smoothness of rotation in their coupling applications. When it comes to torsionally rigid couplings the stainless steel bellows wins in all three categories. Take for example high-speed camming of […]
