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 […]

Stafford Parts for Drones can include shaft collars, couplings, and flange mounts for attaching and repositioning structural components, cameras, sensors, and […]
Coupling options for pump and compressor applications
When designing pumps and compressors, you’ll need to use couplings that balance efficient torque transfer against the ability to withstand vibration, shock loads and misalignment between the motor and drive shaft. Ringfeder offers four coupling options that help do just that. TNR Coupling consists of an aluminum housing and steel hub, separated by cylindrical elastomer […]
Take a look at R+W’s new CHB belt drive housing
With an increased demand for compact mounting solutions in the automation industry, R+W has released the CHB housing for parallel assemblies of motors and actuators. These box housings are available in 5 compact sizes and 2 ratios, allowing for an easier selection process during the design phase, in addition to downsizing of motors. Each unit […]

To match the varied needs of machine tool manufacturers, Ruland Manufacturing Co., Inc. offers over 2,500 standard shaft collars. Machine tool manufacturers require round bore, threaded, and bearing locknut type shaft collars to meet the diverse needs of mills, lathes, bar feeders, coilers and other CNC controlled equipment. Ruland clamp style shaft collars are manufactured […]
What are the basics of coupling installation?
Installation overview: Even if a coupling is properly selected, poor installation can cause failures; staying within the recommended misalignment ratings of that coupling at installation is critical. Here, we will cover several coupling types and what to be careful of during installation. Always be sure the coupling is used within the manufacturer’s ratings. Use a […]
