Zero-Max introduces ServoClass-HSN resonance/vibration damping couplings
Zero-Max has added to their field-proven ServoClass Flexible Shaft Coupling line with the introduction of the new ServoClass-HSN Coupling to address noise and vibration issues that can be experienced in certain high gain, high-speed stepper/servo motor applications. Featuring a Highly Saturated Nitrile Rubber (HSN/HNBR) flex element, these couplings are specifically designed for maximum damping and […]
Zero-Max celebrates 75 Years of product successes with plans for the future
Becoming an industry-leading manufacturer of Motion Control and Power Transmission components came quickly for Zero-Max by being responsive to customer’s needs with innovative products and exceptional service. Its first product was a unique Mechanical Variable Speed Drive that solved application challenges in varied industries, with many of these drives still in use 75 years later. […]
Flange mounting shaft collars can be configured for many applications
A full line of user-machinable flange collars that are ready to mount and feature integral clamps that provide a high-strength, non-marring hold has been introduced by Stafford Manufacturing Corp. of Wilmington, MA. Stafford Accu-Flange Shaft Mounting Collars are user-machinable and can be configured to perform a wide range of applications such as a pulley, cam, […]

SCARA operate At high speed, with semi-conductor positioning accuracy using BXR-LE brakes from Miki Pulley
Precise positioning of semi-conductor wafers during SCARA assembly operations requires instantaneous braking and holding power while minimizing heat in the system. The latest compact and slender Miki Pulley BXR-LE brake models provide the needed perfectly controlled braking in a confined area of the system using minimal power. Cycle time is critical in semiconductor assembly. The […]
Torque-measuring ROTEX coupling – now digital and analog
The MONITEX BT is a torque-measuring coupling hub for recording torque and speed. We have now developed a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that makes it easy to integrate the measured signals into control systems. The DAC connects to the MONITEX BT torque sensor via Bluetooth and provides the live data as a voltage and current signal […]
Zero-Max overhung load adaptors and CD couplings for off-highway mobile equipment
The recent trend toward electrification minimizes the power requirement needed from internal combustion engines and can sometimes even replace internal combustion engines in a driveline of Off-Highway Equipment. The result is a greener, cleaner, sustainable energy alternative. Electric motors now being designed into mobile equipment have increased the importance of integrating high-performance mechanical components like […]
