A full line of off-the-shelf specialty shaft couplings that are designed to meet different mounting and positioning challenges has been introduced by Stafford Manufacturing Corp. Stafford Specialty Shaft Couplings are each designed to perform specific functions. They include the 100:1 Phase Adjuster for precise static phase adjustment, PowerRing Rigid Shaft Couplings that transmit up to […]
Dual-keyed rigid couplings prevent axial and radial slippage
A line of rigid couplings that are suitable for heavy, suspended loads on shafts used in mixers, pumps, fans and related drive systems has been introduced by Stafford Manufacturing Corp. of Wilmington, Massachusetts. Stafford Dual-Keyed Rigid Couplings have axial and annular keyways to provide additional security for high torque and axial load applications. Designed to […]
Rigid couplings for mixers
Mixers are one of the most common industrial applications. They feature a motor coupled to a paddle or propeller. While the connection is simple, mixers can be used in chemical, food, paint, adhesive and other industries complicating coupling selection. The versatility and flexibility of mixers are what makes them challenging to specify a coupling for. […]
Rigid shaft coupling covers
A new series of plastic covers for protecting rigid shaft couplings from hostile environments and permitting use in washdown applications is being introduced by Stafford Manufacturing Corp. of Wilmington, Massachusetts. Stafford Coupling Covers are designed to protect a rigid coupling from dirt, dust, and water and screw together tightly with an O-ring seal. Suitable for […]
Rigid couplings for refinery vertical turbine pumps
Vertical turbine style pumps are widely used in refinery and water treatment applications. The pumps are designed to lift fluids 20 ft. or more from sumps, pits or tanks. These types of pumps have a vertically mounted drive motor positioned directly above a long shaft that extends down inside a pipe and connects to a […]
Timken rigid couplings
For tough applications where strength and affordability are important, the steel design of rigid compression couplings is well suited. Timken cast steel couplings are an excellent choice for joining two shafts of the same size. This type of coupling is also known as a “rigid clamp style” coupling. Choose from standard sizes for shafts 1-7/16 […]
Metric rigid couplings with step bores
Ruland has expanded its line of rigid couplings to include metric sizes with step bores. This gives equipment manufacturers designing precision servo driven systems or shaft-to-shaft connections a wider range of standard in-stock products to choose from. The couplings are available in one- and two-piece clamp styles with or without keyways for superior fit and […]
