Maintaining large transportation pumps
Sulzer overhauls main pumps in water station pumping to ensure decades of reliability. Large transportation pumps are the first step in moving water between station pumping and the end user’s tap. Maintaining their reliability and efficiency is key to minimizing costs and ensuring a constant water supply. For the San Rafael Pumping Station, a major […]
86-Year old Bibby grid coupling in use for decades at Twyford Waterworks
Originally built in 1898 and expanded over the next 30 years, the Twyford Waterworks continues to supply water to the city of Southhampton and surrounding areas in Southern England. With all the original Edwardian-era buildings and most of the original equipment still intact, the historic pumping station was named a Scheduled Ancient Monument in 1973. […]

Rexnord CENTAFLEX-T coupling
Built for High Torques in Confined Spaces The CENTAFLEX-T series was designed based on a bridge bearing principle, with high power density and good misalignment properties. Superior to other wedge-type solutions, the CENTAFLEX-T offers high performance in a compact design, omitting the hubstar thanks to optimized geometry. Available as a constant velocity driveshaft, the CENTAFLEX-T […]
CD coupling provides improved Torsional stiffness for packaging machines
Achieving high torsional stiffness and zero backlash in a packaging system driveline is challenging and essential where precise alignment of the packaging materials is required for a consistent, quality product. Zero-Max application engineers met the challenge with a customized CD coupling. The original packaging system gearbox and driveline did not use a CD Coupling and […]
PT/MC Industry rallies to support employers
Whether in the plant, in the warehouse, or working remotely, managing the employees who support your customers only became more difficult for power transmission/motion control (PT/MC) employers in 2020. With almost 40% of PT/MC companies having no dedicated human resources staff, the employee recruitment and retention duties fall to someone for whom HR is not […]
KTR clamping nuts
Clamping Nuts for secure all-round clamping force With KTR clamping nuts, large screw connections can be easily pretensioned by hand (use of common dynamometric screwdrivers up to approx. 100 Nm). These clamping nuts are used as mechanical force-transmitting elements for reliable connections with high axial force and minimal power input. Features Use of common dynamometric […]
