Kop-Flex service program recertifies used couplings to API 671 standard

August 14, 2014 By Michael Jermann Leave a Comment

Emerson’s Power Transmission Solutions introduced a new program for restoring used high-performance couplings to like-new condition, certified to API 671, with a full original factory warranty. Ideal for high-speed (>1,800 rpm) couplings used on turbomachinery, compressors, pumps and marine drivetrains, the Kop-Flex recertification program is a low cost alternative to replacement of a coupling, for […]

Couplings handle larger shafts and higher torque

April 6, 2012 By Leslie Langnau Leave a Comment

#6143 Zero-Max A1C Coupling PR

A new series of the CD® Coupling – Series A1C high performance CD® couplings features high torsional stiffness and high dynamic load capacity. These couplings provide precise positioning under high speed reversing loads without fatigue for reliable 24/7 operation. In addition, they are excellent for reversing loads and provide smooth operation at high speeds. The […]

Miniature couplings for medical applications

August 16, 2011 By Leslie Langnau Leave a Comment

Ruland rigid coupling

These miniature rigid couplings handle a variety of medical device applications, including test and measurement systems, imaging, patient positioning, and liquid handling such as chromatography. Rigid couplings are zero-backlash, torsionally stiff, and have high torque capacity. They should be used when shaft misalignment is neither present nor desired, with the rigid coupling often used to […]

Maintenance free couplings for heavy engineering

August 16, 2011 By Leslie Langnau Leave a Comment

Extreme temperature ranges, high pollution levels, high vibration levels, and 24/7/365 operation call for engineered drive components which can take the abuse. Extending component maintenance intervals is a priority, since industrial gearboxes, electric motors, bearings, and drive shafts typically require at least partial disassembly and replacement of wear parts. A new solution involves zero maintenance, […]

Oldham couplings: Not just for motion control applications

May 13, 2011 By Leslie Langnau Leave a Comment

Ruland oldham couplings

Oldham couplings are typically used in motion control applications where zero-backlash performance is required. However, these couplings are increasingly used as an alternative to straight jaw couplings on general industrial equipment such as pumps, valves, gearboxes, and conveyor systems due to their versatility, ease of assembly, and extended life if misalignment is present. The oldham […]

VULKAN Couplings unveils New Integrated Shaft Coupling Design

May 4, 2011 By CouplingTipsAdmin Leave a Comment

VULKAN-Couplings-New-Integrated-Shaft-Coupling-Design

VULKAN Couplings (www.vulkan.com) has unveiled a new innovation of the Rato DS coupling that is directly connected to a composite shaft. Aside from being a torsional coupling, the combination of high radial stiffness and low bending and axial stiffness makes the Rato DS ideal to work as an integrated misalignment coupling when it is rigidly […]

Flex element insulates couplings and protects from reaction loads

March 25, 2011 By Leslie Langnau Leave a Comment

#5940 Zero-Max Cd Coup#9660

Motion system designers have a new option to arrest electrical current. Zero-Max CD® couplings have composite flex elements that are non-conductive in addition to their primary function. In addition to protecting from stray electrical current, CD couplings protect generators in a system from transferring lower reaction loads to the generator bearings. The coupling’s composite discs […]

Wind Turbine couplings deliver 100,000 Nm of torque

January 31, 2011 By Leslie Langnau 1 Comment

Zero-Max Wind Turbine Couplings are now available as an upgrade replacement for existing wind turbines and for OEM applications. These couplings easily handle torque spikes and high misalignment installations. They have composite disk packs at both ends of a center spacer for strength and generous flexibility. The composite disk packs (flex elements) allow a surplus […]

Compact safety coupling

January 19, 2011 By Leslie Langnau Leave a Comment

R+W America SL2 coupling

Making use of the existing BKC line of compact bellows couplings, the SL2 safety coupling is a compact, flexible and torsionally rigid option with integral torque overload release.  Designed for aggressive servo driven applications, it  is completely backlash free, relying on preloads and frictional connections, along with a hydroformed stainless steel bellows to relieve bearing […]
