Until now, the Ringfeder Rapid Response Program offered next-day shipping on their shrink disc locking devices, metal bellows couplings and servo couplings. Now, the company is expanding the program to include gear couplings. The gear couplings transmit torque via hubs with crowned gear teeth, which are in permanent mesh with the straight gear teeth of […]

Couplings for warehouse automation systems
When it comes to automated warehouses, precision is key. Hundreds of shuttles and miles of conveyors must all work together to ensure products are transported successfully to their designated location for storage or delivery. Of all the components that play a role in the precision of these systems, don’t forget about couplings and locking devices—both […]
End-to-end coupling solutions for cranes and hoists
When it comes to gearbox coupling applications, some misalignment is unavoidable. This is especially true for cranes and hoists due to their very heavy loads. Fortunately, you can manage misalignment by choosing the right couplings. Here are some options specifically for cranes and hoists: Connecting the Gearbox and Cable Drum Recommended for crane-lifting mechanisms, barrel […]
Coupling options for pump and compressor applications
When designing pumps and compressors, you’ll need to use couplings that balance efficient torque transfer against the ability to withstand vibration, shock loads and misalignment between the motor and drive shaft. Ringfeder offers four coupling options that help do just that. TNR Coupling consists of an aluminum housing and steel hub, separated by cylindrical elastomer […]
How can coupling companies help decrease lead time and downtime?
Timing is everything. Lead time and downtime that is. Minimizing both of these parameters is at the forefront of every coupling end user’s business model. So what are coupling manufacturer’s doing to help? We asked Ringfeder President Ross Rivard about how his company works to keep its customers competitive. Here is what he had to […]

How to install a torsionally soft coupling
Edited by Mike Santora *This is an excerpt from a Design World Webinar presentation by Ed Cole of Ringfeder Power Transmission. …Our TNR series torsionally soft coupling is typically installed on the flywheel of a diesel engine. The TNR is usually installed on pump packages, compressor packages, gen-sets, other specialty packages and fire-pumps. The primary […]
How does shore hardness relate to elastomer inserts in couplings?
By Joyce Laird, contributing editor Precision elastomer couplings are used for a variety of applications in which a customer may need backlash-free torque transmission, vibration damping, electrical isolation, and compensation of misalignment. These torsionally soft couplings have an adjustable stiffness and temperature range with the selection of the color coded elastomer insert or spider. Alex […]
New smart-lock set saves time, space
Ringfeder Power Transmission announces its new RfN 4001 Smart-Lock set, a flexible, economical hollow shaft connection for interlocking multiple solid shafts. With minimal installation labor required, Smart-Lock reduces spare part inventory costs up to 70%. This model also has indestructible, tension-optimized shrink discs for guaranteed safety. Smart-Lock provides large dimensional tolerances up to 0.2 mm […]
New engine coupling offers easy stiffness adjustments
Ringfeder Power Transmission has developed a patent-pending engine coupling that optimizes torsional stiffness and misalignment tolerance across a wide torque range. This new TSCHAN TNR coupling is intended primarily for mobile and stationary diesel-driven powertrains. TSCHAN TNR Couplings consist of an aluminum housing and steel hub separated by one or two rows of mechanically-linked, cylindrical […]
