Six factors to remember about couplings in a motion system
Updated May 2019 || Physical values such as torque, torsional rigidity, spring stiffness, moment of inertia, imbalance, and zero-backlash play a major role in coupling design. Here are a few facts to keep in mind when you design your motion system. 1. Torque (Nm) is the product of an acting force and the effective length […]
EZV Series Adjustable Line Shafts from R+W America
A convenient location for manual phase adjustment along a mechanical drive system is now available in the EZV series adjustable line shafts. Making use of a high strength intermediate collar between two telescoping sections of precision tubing, the EZV naturally places the location for phase adjustment in an easily accessible, open space. Due to the […]
