Machine-vision and optical-inspection systems demand precise motion control, and this requires precision components. One often overlooked but important component is the zerobacklash coupling that ...

Choosing the proper servo coupling for an application is a critical part of total system design and greatly affects its overall performance capabilities. For this reason, considering the coupling ...

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 ...

Spline couplings are critical components in many mechanical drive systems, ensuring the reliable transmission of rotary motion between shafts. Their complex geometry and contact interfaces, however, ...

Proper shaft alignment of directly coupled machines has proven to be one of the greatest money savers for machinery-intensive industries over the last 25 years. When poorly done, usually for lack of ...

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 ...

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 ...

Rubber-in-compression couplings help protect gas- and diesel-driven generator sets from torsional vibration and the possible catastrophic effects of resonance occurring if this were to coincide with ...
