Flanged gearboxes are well suited for CD Couplings from Zero-Max. They provide high torsional stiffness in precision applications with fluctuating torque loads caused by aggressive acceleration/deceleration and reversing rotation. A unique flanged hub on the CD Coupling attaches directly to the gearbox output flange. This direct connection and use of the torsionally stiff CD Coupling […]
Voith Hirth couplings
The Hirth coupling is a machine component that connects and precisely positions shafts, wheels, disks, and cranks in many areas of mechanical engineering to one another. They can be manufactured from most metals and from plastics. In addition, the Hirth coupling is a connection component that is easy to release. But there are other applications as […]

The online platform has been created to allow small-volume orders to be delivered globally, with next day shipping on standard orders. The service is suitable for design engineers or MRO operatives who frequently need […]
Voith SmartSet coupling with controlled slip and release
SmartSet is a torque limiting coupling with controlled slip based on the same technology as SafeSet, with the additional ability to also slip without releasing, to reduce short duration and dynamic torque peaks without interupting production. The SmartSet principle is simple: controlled slip torque for process improvement. The SmartSet coupling has the ability to slip […]
Voith SafeSet coupling with instant release
The SafeSet principle is simple: friction and adaptability. No material fatigue or wear ensures constant torque protection during operation. The SafeSet coupling includes a twin-walled hollow sleeve. Friction is generated upon expansion by pressurized hydraulic oil. The integrated shear tube holds pressure to ensure a constant but easy adaptable torque transmission. In an overload situation […]
Voith adds intelligence to torque limiting couplings with Dtect
Voith introduces Dtect, its intelligent monitoring system that provides real-time data of driveline performance and coupling status. Based on this, the operator can take actions to prevent potential problems and avoid unplanned downtime. By supporting better decision making, Dtect helps to increase productivity as well as significantly lower production and maintenance costs. Dtect enables comprehensive […]
New from Ruland: CNC tool shelves and rail mounts
Ruland Manufacturing now supplies Ruland designed CNC tool shelves and rail mounts that assist manufacturers maintain a 6S compliant work environment (Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain, Safety). Tool shelves can fit existing machine mount systems depending on the manufacturer. If mounts are not integral to the machine, Ruland rail mounts can be quickly […]
