Testing water samples is an important and critical business, so when Hach Co., Loveland, Colo.—a provider of water quality testing and water quality analysis—was designing one of its signature samplers, it wanted a design that was maintenance free and wouldn’t cause any problems. That’s why Hach turned to R+W America, as it worked on the […]

Flexible couplings on display at MDMEast
Key to any trade show display is something that will bring visitors to your booth. So you’ll often see cool, noisy machines or eye-catching contraptions that get attendees attention. That’s what brought me into R.P. Luce & Co. Inc.’s booth. The technical representative for a variety of components, including several motion control products, was showing […]
Flexible coupling resists distortion, corrosion
ERB series of flexible couplings from Autonics is made of super-high strength aluminum alloy (AL 7075-T6), which provides distortion resistance and high torsional stiffness. An alumite surface treatment also provides high corrosion resistance. The series supports two different connection types—clamp type and set screw type—that deliver more accurate revolution driving power and protect revolving objects […]
Torsiflex-i couplings meet API 610 service needs
If you are looking for a cold-install hub that provides the secure torque transmission and balance repeatability of an interference fit, check out the Torsiflex-i flexible disc couplings. Developed for API 610 service, these couplings feature a robust disc pack design, allowing for greater torque load in a smaller, lower weight size. Max bores matched […]
Thomas & Betts coupling delivers watertight and flexible connection
Thomas & Betts Corporation (www.tnb.com), a world leader in the manufacture, design and marketing of electrical components for construction, industrial and utility markets, has introduced the T&B Fitting XD Expansion/Deflection Coupling, which supports thermal expansion and movement in conduit runs to deliver a watertight and flexible connection. The new coupling features a protective stainless-steel inner […]
VULKAN Couplings unveils the VULKARDAN G 84
VULKAN Couplings (www.vulkan.com) is all geared to launch the VULKARDAN G 84 Couplings at the Koremarine in Busan on 26 to 29 October 2011. Specifically designed for electric motors and generator drives in the medium power range, VULKARDAN G 84 supplements the company’s VULKARDAN G product range, which has been released for marine drive components […]
Flex element insulates couplings and protects from reaction loads
Motion system designers have a new option to arrest electrical current. Zero-Max CD® couplings have composite flex elements that are non-conductive in addition to their primary function. In addition to protecting from stray electrical current, CD couplings protect generators in a system from transferring lower reaction loads to the generator bearings. The coupling’s composite discs […]
Wind Turbine couplings deliver 100,000 Nm of torque
Zero-Max Wind Turbine Couplings are now available as an upgrade replacement for existing wind turbines and for OEM applications. These couplings easily handle torque spikes and high misalignment installations. They have composite disk packs at both ends of a center spacer for strength and generous flexibility. The composite disk packs (flex elements) allow a surplus […]
Stainless Steel Couplings Deliver Non-Spill Connections
The FD89 – 2000 Series couplings meet ISO 16028 dimensional requirements. These stainless steel quick-disconnect/non-spill couplings feature standard anti-extrusion Teflon® seals and Viton® O-rings. “FD89 couplings provide a globally interchangeable solution for a variety of applications that require both corrosion resistance and long product life,” explained Joseph E. Dzierwa, Eaton product manager, connectors. “They’re machined […]
Coupling Resists Leakage In Solar Panel Capacitor
Huco Dynatork has supplied its Multi-Beam coupler for use in a solar panel high-voltage capacitor manufactured by a Japanese consumer electronics company. The flexible misalignment coupling is used to connect the drive from the gearbox to a lead screw and had to be able to resist any current leakage. It is ideal for a variety […]
