Couplings see technological and economic growth
Two industry trends could spur change in the application of couplings over the next few years. The first relates to technology improvements for the components themselves. Here, advanced materials are improving couplings in an array of industries. The second is economics-influenced market growth. Expect to see enduring gains in the use of motion designs through […]
ServoClass coupling size added to coupling line
A new ServoClass Coupling size in both single and double flex models has been added to the Zero-Max ServoClass coupling line. Providing high torsional stiffness, these ServoClass couplings are designed to handle high speed reversing loads and precise positioning requirements in today’s demanding servomotor applications. The new size in single and double disc models handles […]
Rapid prototyping for tests and evaluation
Helical Products Company, part of the MW Industries family of companies, announces their new prototype cell dedicated to quickly provide new designs for test and evaluation reducing the lead time for prototypes by over 50%. “For the past 40 years we have been manufacturing custom couplings, u-joints and machined spring prototypes and the lead times […]
When is a keyway connection preferable for a coupling application?
By Zak Khan Keyway connections refer to a slot, or “keyway” cut into one part of a coupling while the other portion has a corresponding “key.” They have some advantages, namely an ability to transmit better torque and reduced slipping. Additionally, misalignment compensation is possible. Manufacturers usually fit the keyways and keys during production. Applications […]
New coupling installation videos online
Rexnord recently expanded its video library on its YouTube channel by adding five new coupling “How to” installation videos — this brings the total of featured videos on the channel to more than 40. The new videos provide a quick reference for customers looking for guidance on installation of the couplings while also showcasing the […]
