The highly-flexible RATO S coupling is a torsionally flexible rubber coupling that compensates radial, axial and angular shaft displacements of the connected machinery. The torque is transmitted by elements loaded in shear. The different torsional stiffnesses and damping factors available provide the possibility to satisfactorily tune the torsional vibration behaviour of the drive system. The […]
GAM’s EDC elastomer drive shaft coupling
This is GAM’s EDC Elastomer Drive Shaft Coupling product line. The EDC is part of GAM’s family of zero backlash drive shaft coupling solutions. Offered in four sizes with torque ratings up to 110Nm, the EDC is available in standard lengths up to 3m. Longer lengths are possible if application information is provided during sizing. […]
R+W stainless steel mesh inserts help in high-temp environments
Precision elastomer insert couplings offer technical advantages in a wide variety of power transmission applications. With the rigid jaw hubs machined from solid round bar stock, the torque density can be superior to that of almost any other type of backlash free flexible coupling, depending on the stiffness of the elastomer insert which is used. […]
NBK’s new XGHW-C flexible couplings
This video showcases NBK’s new XGHW-C flexible coupling. These flexible couplings feature vibration absorption function added to high rigidity couplings. Additionally, this coupling has a structure with both high rigidity and vibration absorption. The individual dynamic vibration absorbtion is separate from the inertial rotor and elastic body in order to achieve vibration absorption. NBK […]
Marcelo Marcos returns to KTR Corporation as new CEO
It’s a homecoming of sorts for Marcelo Marcos who returns to the company where his KTR career began. Marcos is to return as President & CEO of KTR Corporation. Marcos was the Marketing Manager from 1995 to 2002. “Around 2000, Jerry Elenz, KTR’s founder, retired and my personal goal evolved into one day leading KTR […]
Twin Spring Coupling’s flexible coupling technology for replacing U-joints and more
Industrial machinery runs 24/7 365, modern life demands a lot from this machinery and when the equipment is not running it costs money through lost orders, worker down time, and customer dissatisfaction. High speed couplings — couplings, beam and elastomeric, can only run at 4° misalignment before they cause equipment failure through increased vibration and […]
