CENTA produces an enhanced version of its Torque Hub, the slip clutch which offers a simple and low-cost design for torque overload generator protection. In wind power plants, electrical circuit problems are known to cause short-term torque peaks. In this event, slip clutches protect the costly gearbox against overload by slipping at a defined maximum […]

Tips to simplify coupling selection
For a coupling in a servo application to work properly, you need to satisfy a number of application factors including: torque, shaft misalignment, stiffness, speed, and space requirements. Here’s a look at the available types of servo couplings and what you need to consider for each of them during the selection process. Beam couplings Beam […]
Stafford Rigid Coupling Adapters
Wilmington, MA – Stafford Manufacturing Corp. introduces a new standard line of rigid shaft coupling adapters that mate dissimilar style shafts to simplify retrofit, maintenance, and repair applications. Stafford Rigid Coupling Adapters provide an effective way to upgrade and retrofit machinery and conveyor drive components by permitting the user to change the configuration and size […]
Slit Type Plastic Couplings
New Hyde Park, NY — A new series of slit type plastic couplings from Sterling Instrument (ISO 9001:2000+AS9100B Registered Manufacturer) features low cost, UV resistance, voltage and RF isolation. These couplings, identified as the S50TLC… Inch Series are stocked in sizes 13, 19 and 25. This lightweight molded patented coupling can replace stainless/aluminum slit type […]
Servo Torque Limiter from R+W America
Protection of an electromechanical system from torque overload is often assumed to be guaranteed by the current limits set in the drive parameters. But in the case of hard stops, impacts and other situations where overload occurs very rapidly, sufficient energy to do damage often exists in the rotating inertia driving the load. R+W servo-rated […]
Miniature Beam Couplings for Micro Component Applications
Marlborough, MA – For micro component applications, Ruland now offers miniature beam couplings. Available with outer diameters of 9.5 and 12.7 mm and bore diameters of 3 mm, the couplings are made from a single piece of aluminum or stainless steel with overlapping spiral cuts. Ruland’s P-series beam couplings are made from aluminum and cover […]
