Timken MDSD Series coupling

January 14, 2021 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

timken-coupling-product-a1154-image

The compact design of the MDSD (Mini Disc Single Disc) Series accommodates applications that allow for a minimum amount of space for the coupling. The MDSD Series coupling also features a high torsional stiffness over the MD and MDS Series. The MDSD Series also has the lowest inertia of the mini disc designs. Features Zero […]

Heavy-duty shaft coupling strategies

January 4, 2021 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

Ringfeder-logo-screen

Move beyond traditional coupling designs to improve performance and cut costs Heavy-duty shaft couplings have traditionally had a couple of defining design characteristics. For one, these couplings usually rely on keyed shaft connections. For another, they tend to be over-engineered with regard to stiffness. In many ways, this design approach makes perfect sense. Keyed connections have […]

Locking assemblies: beyond the basics

December 30, 2020 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

Ringfeder-locking-assemblies

Although numerous methods exist for coupling two components, choosing the best option for the intended application requires an understanding of all available technologies. For example, when clamping a hub onto a shaft or axle, splined or keyway-based couplings are a popular choice. Another traditional method of connecting gears to shafts involves shrink fitting, which uses temperature differences […]

86-Year old Bibby grid coupling in use for decades at Twyford Waterworks

November 30, 2020 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

Twyford-Waterworks-Building-adjusted

Originally built in 1898 and expanded over the next 30 years, the Twyford Waterworks continues to supply water to the city of Southhampton and surrounding areas in Southern England. With all the original Edwardian-era buildings and most of the original equipment still intact, the historic pumping station was named a Scheduled Ancient Monument in 1973. […]

CD coupling provides improved Torsional stiffness for packaging machines

November 13, 2020 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

equipment at the milk factory

Achieving high torsional stiffness and zero backlash in a packaging system driveline is challenging and essential where precise alignment of the packaging materials is required for a consistent, quality product. Zero-Max application engineers met the challenge with a customized CD coupling. The original packaging system gearbox and driveline did not use a CD Coupling and […]

NBK’s anti-vibration coupling with high rigidity

October 5, 2020 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

NBK-diagram-image

Many types of shaft couplings are used with various production equipment, which requires high productivity. High-torsional stiffness couplings such as Disk type (Pic1) and Bellows type (Pic2) are primarily used in applications that require high positioning accuracy. On the other hand, recently, the speed response frequency of servomotors is increasing (Fig1), the vibration by hunting […]
