R+W has expanded its line of ST series safety couplings, with a specially designed version now available for the protection of extruding equipment. Taking advantage of the ball-detent safety element system, the driving and driven ends separate within milliseconds of a torque overload, protecting the extruder from damage and reducing expensive repairs and costly downtimes. […]
TB Wood’s cost savings calculator
TB Wood’s has created a new program that allows users to quantify cost and savings when selecting a Sure-Flex Plus EPDM or Neoprene sleeve. The program is now available at www.tbwoods.com, or it can be installed as a smartphone app on any Android or Apple device. Users simply input their current maintenance interval, cost of downtime, […]
Jaw couplings for precision conveyors
Ruland zero-backlash jaw couplings have a balanced design, accommodate all forms of misalignment and have high dampening capabilities, making them an ideal fit for precision conveyors with frequent starts and stops. These conveyor applications are often found on equipment used in semiconductor, solar, optical inspection, and medical automation. Jaw couplings offer system designers a wide […]
Sulzer finds engineering talent with summer intern program
Investment is an important process for any business. Investment in new facilities and manufacturing tools keeps the company modern, while investment in R&D helps to keep it at the top of its game within the industry. Of course there is another type of investment that shouldn’t be overlooked; investment in people. The Sulzer summer intern […]
Shaft collars, couplings, and mounts for conveyor systems
A full line of shaft collars, rigid couplings, and mounts for building conveyors with varying load capacities and environmental considerations are available from Stafford Manufacturing Corp. Stafford shaft collars, couplings and mounts are suited for use in virtually all conveyor systems as stops, spacers, and mounting devices for guides, rollers, sensors, and other structural and […]
Turboflex Plus couplings for turbomachinery applications
Ameridrives and Bibby Turboflex, two international flexible coupling manufacturers, have collaborated to introduce a new series of high performance disc couplings designed to meet the stringent requirements of today’s turbomachinery market. The new Turboflex Plus couplings combine Turboflex and Ameridisc disc coupling technologies together with the experience of the Ameriflex diaphragm coupling to create a […]
Custom gear units drive log washers
Renold Gears has designed a heavy-duty, custom gearbox solution for a manufacturer of a special type of coarse material washers known as log washers. Effectively these are huge rectangular boxes, or troughs, usually fabricated from steel plate, containing two steel shafts with paddles attached along their length. They are commonly used for washing and sizing […]
Backlash-free servo couplings for all drive constellations
mayr power transmission provides a wide spectrum of backlash-free, high-performance servo couplings and is permanently expanding its standard modular system. Furthermore, new, modern production processes ensure favourable prices and short delivery times. In addition, the company also stands for diverse, future-orientated solutions for safety brakes and overload clutches. For customers, this means high-quality power transmission […]
Reich-Kupplungen RCT series
Reich-Kupplungen has expanded its product portfolio with the addition of the RCT series, consisting of torsionally stiff flange couplings for diesel engine drive systems. Based on the core competence in rubber flexible products, well-proven material pairings are also used for this new coupling type. The metal-elastomer combination not only imparts the RCT a high torsional […]
