Ringfeder: Locking assemblies for securing rotors in impact crushers
Apart from transmitting the rotor torque, locking assemblies installed in crushers are subjected to further loads such as bending moments and radial impacts. The factors which have to be considered for these applications are briefly described in this article. Please also watch the video and learn how modern impact crushers work. Function principle Impact crushers […]
What are frictional locking assemblies?
If you want a wear-free way to join shaft components, look no further than locking assemblies. These frictional devices take the place of keyed connections that wear and slip over time. Let’s take a closer look at how locking assemblies work — including their advantages over traditional keyways in high-torque applications. What is a frictional […]
KTR on preventing torsional vibrations
Gensets take over a vital function as emergency power generators in infrastructure facilities such as hospitals and computer centers, whereas gensets often form the only technology for power generation in areas with no electricity grid. From the point of view of the design engineer of these plants coupling the I. C.-engine to a generator is […]
KTR for marine environment applications
The sustained concentration in shipbuilding resulted in establishing very large shipyards acting internationally. Apart from that there are highly specialized suppliers for individual markets such as work boats, leisure boats and yachts. Freight rates, international trade and the oil price are central parameters for the economic situation of the overall industry which has a significant […]
Quick clamping shaft collars with clamping lever from Ruland
Ruland now supplies quick clamping shaft collars with clamping levers. These adjustable levers mate a Ruland metric and international series inch shaft collar to a specially designed clamping lever, creating a shaft collar that requires no tools to install, remove, or reposition. Once the lever is installed, users can simply turn it until they meet […]

Couplings for special environments
NBK provides couplings that can be used in special environments such as clean room, vacuum, high temperature (80 ° C or higher) are available. ● Low particle The amount of attached particle is ultra low. This is directly available in a cleanroom. This does not bring contaminated matters into a cleanroom. ● Vacuum-supported A material […]
Stafford on axial holding power
The primary function of a shaft collar is to retain its position on a shaft. The amount of axial load (pounds or newtons) required to initiate slippage of a properly installed collar is defined as the Axial Holding Power. Since this result is a function of tension induced by the screw as well as the […]
