Forming steel into different size bar stock requires positioning and fastening a system’s roll forming wheels with accuracy so they stay in alignment throughout the process. The ETP Hyloc provides the robust hub-shaft connection in these difficult operating environments, providing excellent concentricity despite high torque and radial loading of the system. Each roll forming wheel […]

Better coupling stiffness ensures consistent fuel injection testing
Michigan Custom Machines builds end of line functional test machines, primarily for the diesel and automotive industries. This particular application required a 400 lb flywheel to mimic the inertia of a diesel engine driveline. The flywheel was mounted to a shaft that needed to be coupled to a custom camshaft that is actuating a fuel […]
Helical Supports Machinists With Donation To Community College
Helical shared in the donation of $120,000 to the Machine Technology Program at Allan Hancock Community College. The program provides students with a full range of machining courses. Students learn skills of machine technology and using Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines. Many of these techniques are critical when making flexible couplings and machined springs both […]
New Couplings from SI Feature Unique Lattice Design
A new series of inch couplings from Sterling Instrument (ISO 9001:2000+AS9100C Registered Manufacturer) feature unique lattice design which allows for very large axial, radial, and angular misalignments while transmitting high torque loads with zero backlash. The 35 couplings identified as the S50CLM-… and S50SCLP… Series feature a maximum angular offset of 7°. Their bores range […]
