NBK’s new XGHW-C flexible couplings

July 1, 2019 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

NBK-logo-image

 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

July 1, 2019 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

Twin-Spring-Coupling-logo

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 […]

Custom Amerigear Couplings for offshore drilling rig top drive application

February 12, 2019 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

A leading global manufacturer of oil and gas drilling equipment needed a robust coupling solution for use on its 1,000 ton top drive. The 2,000 HP drive uses two AC motors, suspended from the rig’s mast, to rotate the drill string of pipe sections into the well hole. These pipe strings can reach lengths of […]
