The LENTON® LOCK S-Series, part of the LENTON LOCK Mechanical Rebar Splicing System from ERICO®, provides many of the same great benefits as the B-Series, except in a smaller package. This unique bolted splice is smaller than the competition and has fewer bolts, which helps reduce installation time and save money on the jobsite. All […]

Tips to simplify coupling selection
For a coupling in a servo application to work properly, you need to satisfy a number of application factors including: torque, shaft misalignment, stiffness, speed, and space requirements. Here’s a look at the available types of servo couplings and what you need to consider for each of them during the selection process. Beam couplings Beam […]
Miniature Beam Couplings for Micro Component Applications
Marlborough, MA – For micro component applications, Ruland now offers miniature beam couplings. Available with outer diameters of 9.5 and 12.7 mm and bore diameters of 3 mm, the couplings are made from a single piece of aluminum or stainless steel with overlapping spiral cuts. Ruland’s P-series beam couplings are made from aluminum and cover […]
Improved Clamp Design for Flexible Beam Couplings
Marlborough, MA – Ruland Manufacturing Company has introduced a new clamp design for its zero-backlash flexible beam couplings. The couplings now clamp with a single screw on each end, which eases installation, and are balanced for increased rpm capability. The beam couplings now feature both a radial and cross-cut to enhance surface contact with the […]
HELI-CAL® Flexure coupling
The demands put upon today’s design engineers seem to increase yearly. It is little wonder engineers are reaching for the Rolaids with one hand and the assistance of industry specialists with the other. Clearly the pressure is on engineers to produce designs that create competitive edge. Designs that provide a competitive edge combine simplicity of […]
Special Couplings for High Voltage Application
To meet the specific motion control needs of high voltage systems Huco Dynatork is exporting its expertise to Japan. Its customer specialises in the design and manufacture of high voltage capacitors, one application for which is in an electronic assembly for plasma screens. A miniature misalignment coupling is also part of this assembly but because […]
Couplings deal effectively with hostile environments
The sorts of hostile environment faced routinely by the military present challenges for engineering as well as personnel. An army has to be totally effective whether operating in deserts, jungles, swamps, mountains or arctic conditions. Similarly, the HUCO Dynatork coupling selected for position sensing in a rocket launcher control system had to prove its reliable […]
