Timken BWLC (bellows clamp) Series coupling

January 19, 2021 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

Timken-bwlc

The BWLC (Bellows Clamp) Series coupling specifically addresses higher torque and bore capacities in the area of motion control. The BWLC Series offers the highest amount of torsional stiffness for accuracy and repeatability. The BWLC Series coupling features a corrosion-resistant steel bellow and aluminum or steel hubs. The BWLC Series also has a torque capacity […]

Ruland expands range of bellows couplings

October 6, 2020 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

Ruland-bellows-couplings

Ruland Manufacturing has expanded its line of bellows couplings to include an outer diameter of 2-1/4-in. (57 mm), allowing for larger bore sizes and increased torque and torsional stiffness capabilities. Designers prefer to specify bellows couplings in servo-driven systems due to their high accuracy and repeatability. This size expansion now allows for bore sizes up […]

Ringfeder couplings for advanced motion control systems

June 29, 2020 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

unnamed-129

Users already know the important role Ringfeder couplings play in heavy-duty equipment, from cranes and hoists to pumps and compressors. But coupling can also make or break applications requiring advanced, precision motion control — like surgical robots, medical device manufacturing, medical imaging, lab automation, semiconductor equipment, and industrial robots. A Rundown of Ringfeder Couplings When […]

The eight best ways to wreck your coupling driven system

December 5, 2019 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

Ruland-servo-couplings

Keeping a servo-driven system running at peak efficiency is no simple feat. Misunderstanding performance criteria such as misalignment, torque, or RPM can be all it takes to cause a critical failure. The following are the eight best ways to consistently sabotage or damage your coupling driven system (and how to avoid them in the future). […]

Théâtre du Châtelet and Seine river seen from Tour Saint-Jacq

BC Caire, a leading French manufacturer of stage equipment needed reliable and quiet powertrain components for use on new scenery winches at the Théâtre du Chatelet in Paris. The 2500-seat theater has undergone many restorations and upgrades since its original construction in 1862. In mid-2019 the theater re-opened after a major 2-1/2 year, 31 M€ […]

Flexible disc and bellows couplings from R+W

October 21, 2019 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

R+W-bellows-couplings

For the past 30 years or more, designers of highly dynamic servo drive systems have been turning to bellows couplings to optimize the stiffness, inertia, and smoothness of rotation in their coupling applications. When it comes to torsionally rigid couplings the stainless steel bellows wins in all three categories. Take for example high-speed camming of […]

Servometer SMC 300 Series bellows coupling

October 7, 2019 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

servometer-SMC-300-series-image

Precision bellows couplings are characterized by diameter and the number and spacing of the convolutions. The convolutions allow for a highly flexible, yet rotationally rigid coupling. Electrodeposited nickel bellows have a precisely controlled wall thickness that gives it a combination of sensitivity and high torsional stiffness for precise rotational adjustment and positioning. The SMC 300 series […]
