Twin Spring Coupling is pleased to announce our entire coupling range is now to be made with T6061 T6 aluminum, in addition to our current 4140 Alloy products. “We have had so many requests for a corrosion-free coupling for so many of the industries we currently work with, in addition to the weight savings we […]
Disc couplings for test, measurement, and inspection systems
Ruland disc couplings are zero-backlash, have high torque and torsional stiffness, and can accommodate all forms of misalignment, making them well suited to the requirements of test, measurement, and inspection systems. Single and double disc styles are available, allowing the designer to tailor coupling performance to application requirements. Disc couplings are comprised of two anodized […]
Classic coupling models with sensor technology update from R+W
Recording measurement data, with high precision and directly in the driveline, is now easy with R+W’s own integrated sensor technology built into proven couplings designs. With ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE BY R+W, measurement data is recorded directly from the drivetrain in almost real-time. This was previously very difficult to achieve in drive technology because of the rotating […]
Ringfeder on safety, reliability, and cost benefits in steel mill applications
By Ringfeder Editor In a previous blog post, we explored the role our Shrink Discs, Locking Assemblies, and Gear Couplings play in steel mill bridle roll systems, offering ease of installation, removal, and replacement. Now, let’s turn to other applications within steel mills that can benefit from our heavy-duty power transmission components. Safety Couplings Minimize […]
Ringfeder’s TND steel disc couplings with updated design
RINGFEDER announces an updated version of its proven TND Series of steel disc couplings, which feature backlash-free torque transmission and excellent positioning accuracy in machines that involve synchronous operation, frequent starts, and stops or reversing operations. Typical drive applications include printing and packaging machines, compressors, pumps, and variable speed drives. Using in-depth finite element analysis […]
