Timken rigid couplings

December 9, 2016 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

Timken-rigid-IV

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

October 3, 2016 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

Ruland-Standard step bore rigid coupling

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 […]

Motion systems application examples: Couplings

November 24, 2015 By Mike Santora 1 Comment

Zero-Max Schmidt 3

By Mike Santora Couplings are simple yet precisely engineered devices that connect shafts to transmit torque and compensate for misalignments. But many variations of coupling designs exist to complement machine dynamics and meet specific application criteria. Couplings are either torsionally rigid or flexible. Flexible couplings compensate for misalignments, while rigid designs handle drive components already […]

Couplings for medical equipment provide zero backlash and high torsional stiffness

September 24, 2015 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

Zero-Max-#7286-ServoClass-image

Medical systems require components that are made to exacting and consistent standards. The ServoClass Couplings will not only perform to the technical levels specified, but they will also be highly consistent and repeatable in every dimension, tolerance, and material specification. ServoClass couplings are a suitable coupling for the precise positioning requirements in today’s demanding medical […]

Rigid couplings for power transmission applications

January 31, 2014 By Mary Gannon 1 Comment

Stafford-rigid-shaft-couplings-TH

Torsionally stiff rigid couplings are best used on shafts that are already in proper alignment, so are well-suited to pump, mixer, drive shafts, and other power transmission applications. Stafford Manufacturing Corp., Wilmington, Mass., offers a full line of rigid couplings in a variety of configurations and sizes for connecting these types of components. Rigid couplings […]
