The demands put upon today’s design engineers seem to increase yearly. It is little wonder engineers are reaching for the Rolaids with one hand and the assistance of industry specialists with the other. Clearly the pressure is on engineers to produce designs that create competitive edge. Designs that provide a competitive edge combine simplicity of […]
Couplings
R + W Couplings
Protection of an electromechanical system from torque overload is often assumed to be guaranteed by the current limits set in the drive parameters. But in the case of hard stops, impacts and other situations where overload occurs rapidly, sufficient energy to do damage often exists in the rotating inertia driving the load. R+W servo-rated torque […]
Quick Clamping Shaft Collars from Ruland
Marlborough, Massachusetts — Ruland Manufacturing Company introduces its new quick clamping shaft collars. The new collars do not mar the shaft, do not require tools and are designed for quick adjustments. They are ideal for light duty applications with frequent setup changes or adjustments or where the need for tools is not practical. The quick […]
Beam Couplings Have Improved Clamp Design
A new clamp design for zero-backlash flexible beam couplings is now available. The couplings clamp with a single screw on each end, which eases installation. The beam couplings feature both a radial and cross-cut to enhance surface contact with the shaft. This increases holding power while eliminating the need for the additional screw used in […]
