Ruland jaw couplings for servo motors

February 8, 2021 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

2-Ruland-jaw-couplings-wiht-spiders

Zero-backlash jaw couplings from Ruland have high dampening capabilities, can accommodate all forms of misalignment, and are highly customizable. They are well-suited for servo motors that are often used in precise positioning applications found in semiconductor, solar, medical, and robotics. Each application that uses a servo motor will have different performance requirements such as rpm, […]

Ringfeder elastomer jaw couplings

September 15, 2020 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

Ringfeder-jaw-couplings-graphic

The rotationally resilient couplings of the RINGFEDER series GWE, TNM, TNS, and TNB are puncture-proof and flexible in all directions and therefore compensate for angular, parallel, and axial shaft misalignments of the connected machines. Misalignments can be caused for example by inaccurate assembly, heat movements, or settling phenomena. Avoiding torsional vibration By virtue of the […]

Are you overlooking duty cycle in your coupling selection?

June 30, 2018 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

Ruland-spider-with-no-hubs-image

Duty cycle is a critical but often overlooked consideration during the coupling selection process. Critical elements like types of motion, potential shock load scenarios, and start/stop situations should all be evaluated when selecting a coupling for your next motion system application. Here, Bobby Watkins of Ruland Manufacturing gives us some insight on what to look […]

Step-Flex couplings from Miki Pulley improve ball screw performance

April 16, 2018 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

Miki-Pulley-Step-Flex-photo-1

Miki Pulley’s Step-Flex Couplings improve ball screw performance while solving resonance and vibration problems. The Step-Flex is an altogether new class of shaft coupling. The Step-Flex coupling design has a two-part elastomer element combination. This assembly dampens vibration caused by the actuator carrier when struggling to find its home position by making small adjustments in […]

Dodge paraflex elements

September 25, 2017 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

Dodge-elastomeric-image

Dodge Para-Flex elements are manufactured with reinforcing fabric tension cords that transmit much of the torque during operation and offer a wear indicator to the user when the element should be changed out. The uniform and centered beads, in the foot of the tire element prevent it from pulling out during operation. Additionally, the tire […]
