KTR has developed a new all-purpose coupling for use in a broad range of applications from main to auxiliary drives in construction equipment and general industry. The zero-backlash and torsionally soft EVOLASTIC is available in ten base sizes and with variants in between covering nominal torques from 100 to 5,600 Nm. Spacers for large DBSE (distance between shaft ends) […]
Customizing torsionally rigid disc couplings with shrink disc for wind turbines
Couplings play a critical role in energy equipment — especially wind turbines. These durable components, which connect the gearbox to the generator, ensure the rotor blade system is operating as it should. Without the right coupling, a wind turbine can’t function properly, driving up maintenance costs and downtime. These scenarios are not welcome—especially since any […]
Voith SafeSet EZi – the newest generation of torque limiting couplings
Voith extends its comprehensive range of torque limiting couplings by introducing SafeSet EZi, thus meeting the growing demand for maximum performance and highest safety in industrial environments. The Voith SafeSet series of torque limiting couplings suits all applications and is well-known to facilitate an immediate release at a pre-set torque in the event of a […]
NBK Wireless Positioning Unit “EPU-200” Series model change notice
A model change for the Wireless Positioning Unit “EPU-200” series will occur as follows. The backwards compatible model will be the “EPU-220” series (scheduled for release on June 29, 2021). There will be no change in price, shape, dimensions, or performance as a result of this model change. Customers who have been using the “EPU-200” series can […]
Timken U Type shaft-to-shaft
The U Type is the basis for all Uniflex couplings. It is a shaft-to-shaft flexible coupling with a simple one-piece design, making it ideal for indexing, robotic, or positioning applications. The U Type consists of a triple-wound flexible steel spring brazed to a steel hub at each end. This all-steel design ensures optimum equipment protection […]
Timken BWLC (bellows clamp) Series coupling
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 […]
PTDA Hosts First Virtual Trade Show
PTDA is hosting its first Virtual Trade Show on March 16, giving power transmission/motion control (PT/MC) manufacturers and distributors the opportunity to focus on PT/MC product knowledge and channel partner relationships. During the virtual trade show, PTDA manufacturer and associate members will showcase their products through virtual exhibit booths, technical sessions, and product demos. Exhibitors […]
Timken MDSD Series coupling
The compact design of the MDSD (Mini Disc Single Disc) Series accommodates applications that allow for a minimum amount of space for the coupling. The MDSD Series coupling also features a high torsional stiffness over the MD and MDS Series. The MDSD Series also has the lowest inertia of the mini disc designs. Features Zero […]
The C-Flex Lattice Servo and the C-Flex Lattice
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 […]
Ruland WCL-10-F double wide shaft collar
Ruland WCL-10-F is a one-piece double wide shaft collar with a 0.6250-in. bore, 1 5/16-in. OD, and 15/16-in. width. The clamp style design does not mar the shaft, is easy to remove, and is indefinitely adjustable. It is commonly used for guiding, spacing, stopping, mounting, and component alignment. Equipment manufacturers benefit from the tightly controlled […]
