Ringfeder Power Transmission has developed a patent-pending engine coupling that optimizes torsional stiffness and misalignment tolerance across a wide torque range. This new TSCHAN TNR coupling is intended primarily for mobile and stationary diesel-driven powertrains. TSCHAN TNR Couplings consist of an aluminum housing and steel hub separated by one or two rows of mechanically-linked, cylindrical […]
Bibby Turboflex HF Series disc coupling for FPSO vessel pump
A leading industrial pump manufacturer needed high-performance couplings for a topside sea water injection pump package used on-board a floating production, storage and off-loading (FPSO) ship. The massive oil and gas refining vessel, with a 2M barrel capacity, is positioned over the Egina deepwater oilfield, 150 Km off the shore of Nigeria. Couplings were required […]
Precision couplings for high speed spindle applications
In an effort to address increased demand for its SERVOMAX elastomer couplings in high speed spindle applications, R+W Coupling Technology has released its new SP6. Made with improved concentricity and perpendicularity, and higher grade materials, the hubs are capable of handling circumferential speeds of up to 80 m/s, and higher torque levels per size. The […]

Stafford Oversized Parts include large bore shaft collars, flange mount collars, and heavy-duty couplings that are designed for use in conveyors, mixers, and […]
The best bellows coupling videos on the web
The bellows coupling is a ubiquitous motion systems component. As such, there is no shortage of videos about them on the web. So how do you sift through clips of all that hard metal milieu? Well, you let us do it for you. In this article you will find some of the best, most concise […]
Clamp style shaft collars for food equipment
Ruland manufactures clamp style shaft collars with high holding power, fine finishes, and precise face to bore perpendicularity. They are commonly used for guiding, spacing, stopping, mounting, and component alignment on food processing, packaging, and handling equipment. Food equipment manufacturers benefit from the tightly controlled face to bore perpendicularity of Ruland shaft collars (TIR of […]
Safety coupling basics: What does a ball-detent do?
Couplings are common motion system components used primarily to transmit torque and compensate for misalignment between two shafts. Safety couplings, or overload couplings, are specially designed couplings that slip or disengage in the event that a pre-determined torque limit is reached. The most common type of safety coupling is a low or backlash free spring-tensioned […]
The 4 best magnetic coupling videos on the internet
4. Magnetic Couplings EagleBurgmann In this video we see how the Burgmann Research and Development Department designs its magnetic couplings to handle applications with gas-loaded media… It’s more interesting than you think. The video begins with a brief recap of permanent magnets (and a rather neat demonstration with two magnets dancing in tandem on either […]
