Couplings for test dynamometers

December 15, 2015 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

Zero-Max-CD-Couplings-For-Dynamometers

Test Dynamometers experience high input speeds and high torque loads which cause stress on transducers and connected components. To assure these systems generate accurate performance information when experiencing these conditions, system designers specify CD couplings from Zero-Max. CD Couplings are unique in design and can provide the ideal combination of operating characteristics that will improve […]

Disc couplings for semiconductor and solar equipment

June 10, 2015 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

Ruland-Disk-Coupling-image

Semiconductor and solar equipment such as wafer handlers, bonders and screen printers often require rapid movements over short increments to precisely position wafers, chips or panels. Disc couplings from Ruland are torsionally stiff, operate with zero-backlash and have a balanced design, making them a suitable choice for these highly accurate systems with speeds of up […]

What do you know about Disk Couplings?

January 27, 2015 By Michael Jermann 1 Comment

A disk coupling is a type of flexible coupling suited for high performance motion control applications and can typically handle speeds of up to 10,000 rpm. The coupling transmits torque from a driving to a driven bolt tangentially on a common bolt circle. This torque is transmitted between the bolts through a series of thin, […]
