I was invited by Tom Astrene of TLT to write a response to the
July 2010 TLT article (Ref. 1). My rebuttal — “In Search of a Fatigue
Limit: A Critique of ISO Standard 281:2007” — was published
in Tribology and Lubrication Engineering, TLT, August
2010 edition (Ref. 10). While this article is also available online,
I will attempt to summarize the essence of my response.
Pack Expo takes place November 6-9 at McCormick Place in Chicago. With 2,100 exhibitors, it’s the world’s largest most comprehensive processing and
packaging trade show in 2016.
Like Moses descending from Mount Sinai toting a couple of stone tablets, Kate Achelpohl, director of member communications at PMMI and herald
of all things Pack Expo, came
hither proclaiming the four
commandments of the forthcoming
show:
We are pleased to present our first annual Engineering Showcase, a celebration of some of the leading products and companies in mechanical power transmission. In the pages that follow, you’ll find examples of engineering excellence and technological know-how in the field of gears, drives, couplings, machine parts and other mechanical components.
More than 27,000 packaging and processing professionals attended Pack Expo 2013 in Las Vegas from September
23–25. In addition to launching new products, creating brand awareness,
achieving sustainability goals and generating new business contacts, Pack Expo was an opportunity to engage the next generation of workers in packaging, robotics and processing
applications.
In most cases, industrial power transmission calls for flexible rather than rigid couplings in order to forgive minor shaft misalignment. For that reason, this article will focus solely on the selection of flexible couplings.
