Why a flexible coupling? A flexible coupling exists to transmit power (torque) in one shaft to another; to compensate for minor levels of misalignment; and, using cases, to provide protective features such as for example vibration dampening or acting as a “fuse” in...
9.1 LOW-SPEED OPERATIONSynchronous drives are especially well-suitable for low-speed, high torque applications. Their positive generating nature prevents potential slippage connected with V-belt drives, and actually allows significantly better torque carrying...
General Guide LinesThere are several general guidelines which are applicable to all timing belts, including miniature and double-sided belts: Drives should always be designed with ample reserve horsepower capacity. Use of overload service factors is essential. Belts...
An idler sprocket is a device used to keep the strain in a chain or chain get system. Often comprising only a sprocket installed on a spring tensioned arm, the idler sprocket pulls against the chain in a constant manner to keep the chain limited all the time. How big...
Fluid Coupling Overview A fluid coupling contains three components, in addition to the hydraulic fluid: The housing, also known as the shell (which will need to have an oil-restricted seal around the travel shafts), contains the fluid and turbines. Two turbines...
