The eight best ways to wreck your coupling driven system
Keeping a servo-driven system running at peak efficiency is no simple feat. Misunderstanding performance criteria such as misalignment, torque, or RPM can be all it takes to cause a critical failure. The following are the eight best ways to consistently sabotage or damage your coupling driven system (and how to avoid them in the future). […]
Curved beam flexible coupling from RoCom Couplings Corp
Rocom’s one piece, double taper, multi overlapping, curved beam flexible coupling is the patented result of years of testing. The beams are double tapered so that they are thick at the OD and thin at the ID in ratio to the circumferential lengths. They are thick at the hub end of the beam and thin […]
Kop-Flex KOP-GRID couplings
The grid design functions as a resilient coupling by damping torsional vibration and cushioning shock loads. This results in reduced vibration at the output end of the coupling. Peak loading is reduced, for smooth torque transmission, to help protect connected equipment from potentially damaging vibratory loads. A second function of the grid design is that […]
XGT2 high-gain rubber type coupling: productivity and stabilization time
High-gain flexible coupling which surpasses XGT-CXGL-CXGS-C in performance. This is a single-piece construction with the two aluminum hubs molded with high-gain rubber. The optimal damping and rigidity design enables realization of even greater servomotor gain, leading to reduced stabilization time. Technical information⇒Productivity and stabilization time Suppressing speed unevenness control during stepping motor operation is effective.⇒Suppressing […]
Huco Flex M Coupling for CadCam technology laser cutters and engravers
A technology originating from the 1960’s, laser cutting offers a highly precise method to cut and engrave a huge array of materials. One business at the forefront of this technology is CadCam Technology, which provides state-of-the-art laser cutting machines to the automotive, textile, medical, military and education sectors.

Voith highly flexible K coupling
K Couplings are the standard for our highly flexible couplings. They feature a modular design and can be integrated into your drive system with a high degree of flexibility. This makes this type of coupling an ideal and cost-effective choice for many applications in a wide range of industrial sectors. K Couplings dampen torsional vibrations […]
Vulkan RATO S for flexibly mounted engines and rigidly mounted engines
The highly-flexible RATO S coupling is a torsionally flexible rubber coupling that compensates radial, axial and angular shaft displacements of the connected machinery. The torque is transmitted by elements loaded in shear. The different torsional stiffnesses and damping factors available provide the possibility to satisfactorily tune the torsional vibration behaviour of the drive system. The […]
NBK’s new XGHW-C flexible couplings
This video showcases NBK’s new XGHW-C flexible coupling. These flexible couplings feature vibration absorption function added to high rigidity couplings. Additionally, this coupling has a structure with both high rigidity and vibration absorption. The individual dynamic vibration absorbtion is separate from the inertial rotor and elastic body in order to achieve vibration absorption. NBK […]
Twin Spring Coupling’s flexible coupling technology for replacing U-joints and more
Industrial machinery runs 24/7 365, modern life demands a lot from this machinery and when the equipment is not running it costs money through lost orders, worker down time, and customer dissatisfaction. High speed couplings — couplings, beam and elastomeric, can only run at 4° misalignment before they cause equipment failure through increased vibration and […]
