Couplings & U-Joints

Micromanipulators are devices that work on the smallest scale. As a critical mechanical instrument for microscope operation, they move in the range of micro-meters to bring cells, bacteria, or colloidal parti-cles into focus. The most common applications include microscopy in chemistry, medical technology, gene technology, and semiconductor development. With its maximum procession and compact con-struction, […]

Torsionally rigid, absolutely backlash-free steel disc couplings of the new series RINGFEDER® TND – originating from the proven TSCHAN® POSIMIN® and GERWAH® series – are suitable for the most diverse applications and particularly ideal for all drive tasks requiring freedom from wear and maintenance as well as excellent misalignment compensation and positioning accuracy. The characteristic […]

GWJ Technology GmbH, calculation specialist from Braunschweig, has added a new module to its web-based calculation software eAssistant – this now enables the calculation of Hirth couplings. The new module is part of the web-based calculation software eAssistant in order to design, recalculate and optimize classic machine elements such as shafts, bearings, gears, cylindrical and […]

Parker Hannifin recently launched the new optimized FEM Quick Coupling Series which offers an increased working pressure up to 350 bar and a decreased pressure drop for better flow properties.  The revised and updated FEM and FEC series have profiles corresponding to ISO 16028 and exceed the technical requirements in the ISO 16028 specifications. They […]

Dişsan offers complete solutions in drive systems including hydraulic couplings, elastic couplings, gear couplings, overrunning clutches and back-stops. Couplings are essential parts of the drive systems connecting the motor and the gearbox or the gearbox and the driven machine. They compensate for small amounts of misalignment between shafts. DYHK model elastic couplings have cylindrical buffers […]

The “intelligent coupling” features direct recording of mechani-cal data in the drive train, taking accurate measurements through user-friendly operation. Some of the ideas underlying the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) include the optimisation of operational efficiency and cost reduction in production and monitoring equipment and machinery. All kinds of production processes can be better adjusted […]

Ruland Manufacturing(link is external) and Belden Universal have agreed to further cooperation by offering Belden universal joints through Ruland’s eCommerce platform. Ruland will stock and make to order a wide variety of friction- and needle-bearing universal joints in alloy and stainless steel. The addition of universal joints gives Ruland a more complete power transmission offering to complement its […]

From February 13th – 14th, visitors to the Industrial Vehicle Technology (IVT) Expo will be able to meet with leading brands of the Altra Industrial Motion Corp., to see first-hand a selection of high-performance power transmission components for industrial and off-highway vehicles. Taking place in Hall 11.1 of Köln Messe in Cologne, Germany, attendees will […]

In many industrial environments the transmission of power through the drive train requires couplings that are able to carry high torque while also accommodating misalignment and vibration. Stromag’s range of Periflex® Shaft Couplings use a highly flexible, rubber-fabric “tyre” element to transmit up to 15,000 Nm of torque, while compensating for radial, axial and angular […]
