Six different types of couplings described
Oldham coupling: This is a good all-around flexible coupling when you’re looking for a coupling to provide homokinetic transmission, and to exert low reactive forces under large radial misalignement. Oldham/Universal coupling: This coupling is similar to an Oldham coupling and has many of the same advantages. It differs by accommodating larger angular and radial misalignments like a […]
Regal introduces mill-drive condition monitoring program
You’ve got to love Ben Franklin. It’s no small irony that, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” is attributed to the man whose image is on our $100 bill. Indeed, many Benjamin’s stand to be saved by recognizing system failures before they happen. Regal Power Transmission Solutions is introducing its new […]
New R+W safety coupling handbook now includes the heavy-duty ST series
R+W Coupling Technology has released a new and updated version of its “Safety and Overload Couplings” educational handbook, which now includes the heavy-duty ST torque limiter series. These ST torque limiters are suitable for industrial drive applications with potential for overload, offering disengagement torques from anywhere between 200 and 165,000 Nm. This handbook covers all […]
As applications change, so do their couplings
There are a wide variety of couplings in the world, each suited for its own purpose in countless different applications. As these applications change, so must their couplings. Some companies are looking to cut costs, while others are willing to spend more to upgrade to couplings that better fit their needs. Gear and grid coupling […]
Flange couplings deliver higher torque capacity
Ringfeder Power Transmission’s RfN 5571 series of flange couplings, for heavy duty applications, offer easy installation and have higher torque capacity than standard press fits. Equipped with Ringfeder shrink discs, the RfN 5571 flange couplings can be integrated into machines without any heating or cooling, making them easily installable for engineers. They are slip fit […]
Ringfeder Power Transmission Group adds new line of heavy duty shaft couplings
Ringfeder Power Transmission Group has expanded its offering of heavy-duty couplings with the acquisition of TSCHAN GmbH, a leading supplier of non-shiftable mechanical shaft couplings. TSCHAN couplings are used primarily in heavily-loaded, large-machine applications—including mining, offshore, construction, steel production, cement, pump, compressor and power generation. These heavy-duty couplings complement the precision couplings from Ringfeder’s GERWAH […]
