A new series of inch couplings from Sterling Instrument (SI), an ISO 9001:2000+AS9100C Registered Manufacturer, feature unique lattice design which allows for very large axial, radial, and angular ...

Even if a pump fails repeatedly, or if a motor's bearings continually fail before their rated life cycle, don't assume it's the pump or motor design to Even if a pump fails repeatedly, or if a motor's ...

I was splitting wood one day a few years back, getting next winter’s firewood ready on my hydraulic splitter. It normally handled my ash and oak with ease, but I had a particularly gnarly piece of ...

Perhaps a hundred different types of couplings can join rotating drives when there is just a small misalignment between shafts (3°). But designs with misalignments approaching 10° or more leave just ...

SKF’s range of Disc Couplings in a variety of configurations, offer cost-effective, lubrication-free service in medium to high torque applications that require torsional rigidity. The Couplings ...

V-belt drive misalignment exists when the driver and driven sheaves are not properly aligned. Misalignment can take either the form of angular or parallel (offset) misalignment, or a combination of ...

VULKAN Couplings recently introduced a unique combination of the proven RATO DS coupling with a directly connected Composite shaft. The high radial stiffness and the comparably low axial and bending ...

The objective of optimized shaft alignment is to increase the operating life span of rotating machinery. To achieve this goal, components that are the most likely to fail must be made to operate ...

The difference between flexible shaft couplings and rigid shaft couplings is not just in the terminology but in adsorption of torque. Shaft alignment is key to preventing unnecessary wear and damage ...
