Zero-Max H-TLC torque limiters are designed to disengage in the event of a torque overload, protecting both the machine and the products being processed. The H-TLC features a consistent, reliable, repeatable, and adjustable disengagement torque setting, and is designed to withstand corrosive environments. An available actuating disc can be added for triggering alarms or providing automatic system shutdown the instant an overload condition occurs.

Ruland bellows couplings are ideal for precision motion in robotic applications due to their zero-backlash design, high torque and torsional stiffness, and various styles that ensure accurate movement and smooth operation. They are commonly used in industrial, medical, and autonomous robotic systems requiring high speed and accuracy.

R+W has just made a significant investment in its LP series flexible disc coupling line in West Chicago, IL as the latest in its efforts to localize production and better serve customers who are increasingly in need of speed and flexibility from their precision coupling suppliers.  The expanded scope, including increases in materials, turning equipment, and personnel, will enable R+W to deliver single and dual-flex configurations, ranging from 300-15,000 Nm torque capacity, in under two weeks. Custom options will also be able to be delivered more quickly.

The PTDA 2024 Industry Summit, held at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs, CO., brought together over 425 power transmission/motion control (PT/MC) industry executives to explore the theme “Broadening Horizons. Elevating Excellence.” The event sparked fresh thinking and provided actionable insights for tackling key challenges within the PT/MC sector.

Flexible couplings are one of the most critical components in mechanical drivetrains. Yet they're also one of the most overlooked during maintenance and inspection. In the marine and power generation industries, neglecting coupling health can be costly. Understanding your couplings and their requirements can ensure a smooth inspection and maintenance cycle. And in turn, can lead to longer coupling life and more uptime.

A new website that includes thousands of shaft collars, couplings, and innovative mechanical components which are now available for sale online has been introduced by Stafford Manufacturing Corp. of Wilmington, MA.

The threat of corrosion caused from wet or chemical applications is no match for ATRA-FLEX^® Nitrocarburized Couplings from U.S. Tsubaki. Learn more about how to significantly improve the lifespan and performance of critical components, providing both cost savings and enhanced reliability.

Ruland Manufacturing has expanded its jaw coupling line to meet the demands of high-torque applications, now offering bore sizes up to 1-3/4 in or 45 mm and torque capacities of 2,655 in-lbs. (300 Nm). These new jaw couplings are designed for use in precision systems with high deceleration and acceleration curves, such as those found in semiconductor, solar, conveyor, and warehouse automation applications.

Based on the proven ROBA-DS steel disk pack coupling, Mayr Power Transmission developed a weight-optimized aluminum version. Compared to the steel version, the outer diameter of this new design has been reduced by up to 10 mm; the mass and mass inertia range from 40 to 60 percent of the steel version, depending on the design and size. The performance density, however, remains unchanged. It is tailored to meet the requirements of high-speed applications, for example in the field of test bench technology.

Zero-Max has added to their field-proven ServoClass Flexible Shaft Coupling line with the introduction of the new ServoClass-HSN Coupling to address noise and vibration issues that can be experienced in certain high gain, high speed stepper/servomotor applications.
