Accommodating bore configurations for your shaft collar or coupling
By Shelley Doherty Stafford Manufacturing Corp. designs and manufactures rigid couplings, shaft collars, and specialty mechanical parts used in automation, power transmission, motion control, and other OEM and MRO applications. The company has collars and couplings available in square, threaded, hexagonal, keyed, and round bore configurations. In addition, it can add drive slots, press-fits, pulleys, […]
Ringfeder’s rugged EPC multiple disc electric pulley clutch
Gasoline engines, pumps, generators, and other machines operating in rugged environments require long-lasting components to ensure successful performance. Clutches designed with durable materials can prevent breakdowns, which would otherwise lead to expensive maintenance and downtime. One example of a ruggedized clutch — the EPC multiple-disc electric pulley clutch — consists of a standard electromagnetic multiple-disc […]
ROTEX ZRS torsionally flexible intermediate shaft coupling with SPLIT hubs or half shell hubs
ROTEX ZRS jaw coupling for bridging smaller and larger shaft distances The lightweight type ZRS made of high-strength aluminum impresses by very high overall stiffness. The high stiffness of the aluminum pipe results from the design; here two pipes combined via webs – the ROTEX cams – are concerned. There is a positive impact on the […]
Locking assemblies in energy efficient high-volume, low-speed (HVLS) fans
HVLS (high-volume, low-speed) fans are generally ceiling-mounted and are less often of the wall-mounted type. They are more than 7-ft (2.1 m) in diameter. Their functional principle relies on size and not on speed to move a large amount of air. Though HVLS fans are used in a wide variety of applications, they are predominantly […]
New high-performance spider for backlash-free servo coupling from KTR
KTR has a new spider in its product range which decisively increases the performance level of the backlash-free servo couplings type ROTEX GS with regard to temperature resistance and pressure resistance. The material is a newly developed “thermoplastic polyurethane” with a hardness degree of “52 Shore D” and a temperature resistance of up to 120° […]
Couplings: electrodeposited bellows from MW Components
These couplings have a distinct bellows shape with convolutions. They are produced using the electrodepositing process, which involves creating a component by adding thin metal layers to a mandrel and then chemically removing the mandrel. MW Components www.mwcomponents.com
Voith coupling for realistic test scenarios of combustion engines
HP Coupling The HP Coupling was specifically designed for realistic test scenarios of combustion engines where a dummy gearbox is bell-house-mounted to the engine. In these scenarios, the HP Coupling protects the test rig against damaging torsional vibrations and shifts the natural frequency below idle speed. A viscous-hydraulic damping system and an isolation function give […]
RINGFEDER in the entertainment industry: Its connection with a T-Rex
Ringfeder manufactures products that comply with the highest function and safety requirements set forth in the most diverse industrial fields worldwide. This also includes the entertainment industry: discover how its products are used in the impressive T-Rex from Creature Technology. Modern friction-locked connections, like locking assemblies and shrink discs, are state-of-the-art. They are ideal for […]
EMA multiple disc electric brakes are a reliable choice for critical applications
By Ringfeder Editor In mission-critical military applications or other rugged, high-performance environments, braking systems must provide superior functionality and excellent reliability. Ideal for these kinds of projects, the EMA multiple disc electric brake ensures smooth and safe operation, delivering three to six times more torque than a single disc electric brake of the same size.
