KTR clamping nuts
Clamping Nuts for secure all-round clamping force With KTR’s clamping nuts large screw connections can be easily pretensioned by hand (use of common dynamometric screwdrivers up to approx. 100 Nm). Our clamping nuts are used as mechanical force-transmitting elements for reliable connections with high axial force and minimal power input. Features: * Use of common […]
RINGFEDER locking assemblies optimized for bending loads
Uncompromising performance under extreme loads with specially developed RINGFEDER® Locking Assemblies for Bending Loads: One of the most challenging applications for our locking devices are belt drums which are used, e.g., in mostly large-scale conveyor systems for iron or copper ore, coal, and other mineral resources. The shaft-hub connections used between the drum shaft and […]
Ringfeder on the right coupling for heavy-duty hoist applications
Cranes and hoists are only as good as their couplings, which are essential to maintaining uptime and enhancing the safety and reliability of your operation. Without the right coupling, your crane or hoist may not function properly, causing your manufacturing process to grind to a halt. This kind of downtime is not welcome – especially […]
How locking assemblies enable HVLS fan applications to keep their cool
High-volume, low-speed (HVLS) fans play an important role in many applications, from agricultural processing to warehousing. These ceiling-mounted units can move large amounts of air due to their size, which generally exceeds 7 feet in diameter. In terms of their design, these fans have a geared motor that connects to a forged hub, which includes […]
Ruland slit couplings for robotic systems
Ruland offers slit couplings for robotic systems. Slit couplings are zero-backlash, lightweight, and manufactured with intermittent slit cuts, making them a suitable starting point for designers of robotic systems. While they are visually similar to Ruland multiple-beam couplings, the slit cut design gives them higher torque and torsional stiffness capabilities and multiple length options in […]
SIM drive couplings from AutomationDirect
AutomationDirect has added SIM drive couplings to their line of mechanical power transmission products. SIM drive couplings are power transmission components used to couple the shafts of various mechanical devices, often of different sizes, and compensate for shaft misalignment. Four different styles of couplings are available; Jaw/Spider couplings provide a wide range of fitment and […]
Zero-Max offers a variety of options for its Posi-Lok keyless shaft bushing product line
Zero-Max offers a variety of options within the Posi-Lok keyless shaft bushings (PSL) product line. Options include material choices, plating, and different mounting methods. These options give system designers the ability to select the best shaft locking device for their system. The PSL series allows the user to rigidly and reliably secure shaft-mounted components into […]
Ringfeder locking assemblies for securing rotors in impact crushers
Apart from transmitting the rotor torque, locking assemblies installed in crushers are subjected to further loads such as bending moments and radial impacts. The factors which have to be considered for these applications are briefly described in this article. Please also watch the video and learn how modern impact crushers work. Function principle Impact crushers […]
Ringfeder’s two- and three-piece shrink discs
Depending on your application, you may need a two- or three-piece Shrink Disc design to create a secure shaft-hub connection. Let’s explore some of their key similarities and differences to help you select the right one. General Shrink Disc Design A modern method for creating a mechanical shrink fit, Shrink Discs offer an even distribution […]
