A large steel producer was experiencing failures of the U-joints on a plate mill leveler at their Indiana plant. The mill produces 160-in. wide plates that are then cut-to-length. The 350 mm U-Joints drive a series of 6 upper and 7 lower rollers that level 2 to 6-in. thick steel plates as they pass through. […]
Voith flexible CT Couplings
Flexible CT Couplings are especially well-suited for industrial uses. This type of coupling is virtually failure-free and is an optimal and cost-effective solution for many applications. Elastomer elements under pressure provide a damping effect. CT Couplings dampen torsional vibrations and shock loads in the driveline. In addition, the coupling balances axial and radial displacements. This […]
Ringfeder couplings for advanced motion control
Check out Ringfeder’s latest video to learn more about its best-of-class coupling solutions for advanced motion control applications, including surgical robots, semiconductor equipment, lab automation, and industrial robots. Used in high-accuracy applications, our elastomer jaw couplings dampen vibration and compensate for radial, axial and angular misalignment. Another option is the company’s metal bellows couplings, which […]
Lovejoy reformulates S-Flex Endurance Couplings
Lovejoy’s redesigned S-Flex Shear Type coupling product is the highest quality and longest-lasting offering available in the marketplace. Lovejoy engineers reconfigured the material and have delivered a new and improved, longer-lasting EPDM rubber sleeve. Lovejoy introduced the redesigned product as “S-Flex Endurance Couplings” to signify the increased longevity and other performance improvements. The product launched […]
RoCom Coupling Corp’s D Series heavy duty coupling
A heavy-duty coupling. Has a large amount of misalignment and axial motion. More space between each beam for greater misalignment All couplings have an inside relief so the shafts will not touch the beams at the maximum misalignment. Clamps are an integral part of the coupling and use hex socket cap screw with a black […]
RINGFEDER locking assemblies RfN 7005
Simple and quick assembly and disassembly, complete freedom from maintenance and wear, absolutely backlash-free power transmission: RINGFEDER Locking Assemblies are friction-locked shaft-hub connections manufactured to the highest quality standards. They are suitable for the precise fastening of all types of hubs, e.g. toothed gears, running wheels, and chain sprockets, levers, cam discs, belt and brake […]
Mayr Corporation’s consistent-torque continuous slip clutch
Mayr Corporation’s ROBA-contitorque is a consistent-torque continuous slip clutch with magnetic hysteresis principle. If you require wear-free and reliable torque limitation, the ROBA-contitorque continuous slip clutch and brake is the ideal partner. Contrary to friction-type clutches the torque is transmitted contactlessly via magnetic forces. Characteristics and advantages of the ROBA-contitorque: ● contactless torque transmission ● excellent […]
Variable speed couplings for cooling fans
The Voith TurboCool coupling optimizes the operation of gas compressor stations with engine-driven cooling fans. This coupling reliably regulates the speed of the fans to maintain optimum cooling performance. The advantages: The cooling system does not freeze up and does not overheat. This increases availability to the compressor station. The cooling system requires less power. […]
