Stainless Steel Couplings Deliver Non-Spill Connections

October 4, 2010 By Leslie Langnau Leave a Comment

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

April 8, 2010 By Leslie Langnau Leave a Comment

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

March 25, 2010 By Leslie Langnau Leave a Comment

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 […]

High Torque Servo Couplings

July 6, 2009 By CouplingTipsAdmin Leave a Comment

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 […]
