Solar panel mounting system application for modified L-jaw couplings
RBI Solar, a designer and manufacturer of solar panel mounting systems for commercial applications, needed a coupling solution for its new single-axis tracker product. The SunflowerTM mounting system rotates rows of photovoltaic (PV) modules on the East/West axis to follow the sun and maximize energy production. In large-scale commercial installations, rows can be 400-ft long, […]
Zero-Max expands Posi-Lok keyless shaft bushing product line
Zero-Max announced expansion of its Posi-Lok keyless shaft bushings product line. These shaft locking devices rigidly secure shaft-mounted components into position. They are an excellent shaft-hub locking solution eliminating keyways which can weaken or cause excess wear to shaft components. The expanded Posi-Lok product line includes nine different models in a range of sizes. Now […]
Stainless steel oldham couplings from Ruland
Ruland now makes oldham coupling hubs from 303 stainless steel. This addition gives designers an off-the-shelf coupling to choose from when designing systems in corrosive, vacuum or cleanroom environments. Stainless steel oldham couplings are zero-backlash, can accommodate all forms of misalignment and have a balanced design, making them suitable for a wide variety of servo […]
Elastomer insert jaw couplings from DieQua
For applications requiring higher performance than typical insert couplings, DieQua’s new EC series provides zero backlash, several clamping styles and five different insert types providing varying degrees of torsional rigidity. 3 models provide a variety of connection options, all with zero backlash. 5 insert shore values provide different stiffness ratings. All models offer low inertia […]
Hollow shaft connections without precision machining
Creating the perfect hollow shaft connection in gearbox applications isn’t easy. You need to maintain strict dimensional tolerances between the solid and hollow shafts—a process that requires precise, yet costly machining. Ringfeder’s Smart-Lock set overcomes these challenges. It provides a firm, yet flexible connection with clearances up to 0.2 mm. Thanks to its user-friendly, economical […]
