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 […]
