The FD89 – 2000 Series couplings meet ISO 16028 dimensional requirements. These stainless steel quick-disconnect/non-spill couplings feature standard anti-extrusion Teflon® seals and Viton® O-rings. “FD89 couplings provide a globally interchangeable solution for a variety of applications that require both corrosion resistance and long product life,” explained Joseph E. Dzierwa, Eaton product manager, connectors. “They’re machined […]

6 ways to assess torque needs for safety couplings
Safety couplings that operate on the ball detent principle primarily suit disengagement torque applications. But, with some modification, they can suit highly dynamic applications with resonant frequencies and torsional rigidity. Here is a brief examination of common equations used to calculate the following torques for safety coupling design in a drive system: disengagement torque, acceleration […]
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 […]
Silicone Insert Couplings from Sterling Instrument
New Hyde Park, NY — A new series of silicone insert couplings from Sterling Instrument (ISO 9001:2000+AS9100B Registered Manufacturer) features electrical isolation and no backlash. These metric couplings, identified as the S54HSAM… (clamp type) and S5PSAM… (set screw type) Series are stocked in 5 different bore sizes ranging from (6 mm to 16 mm). These […]
High Torque Servo Couplings
Heavy duty torque ratings and high strength conical clamping hubs make BK3 couplings the choice for high torque servo gearboxes. Manufactured with a double-walled stainless steel bellows to absorb parallel, angular and axial shaft misalignment, the BK3 has an extremely high torsional stiffness to complement its relatively very low moment of inertia – allowing it […]
