Couplings in most turbomachines attach the driver to the driven piece of machinery. High-performance flexible couplings used in turbomachines must perform three major functions: (1) efficiently ...

Proper shaft alignment of directly coupled machines has proven to be one of the greatest money savers for machinery-intensive industries over the last 25 years. When poorly done, usually for lack of ...

The objective of optimized shaft alignment is to increase the operating life span of rotating machinery. To achieve this goal, components that are the most likely to fail must be made to operate ...

*Below is an excerpt from a Design World webinar presentation by Andy Lechner of R+W America. Here, Lechner covers some best practices for handling coupling installation in precision motion control ...

Bellows couplings are an excellent choice when selected for the proper application. We asked Bobby Watkins of Ruland Manufacturing to give us some insight on proper coupling selection. The following ...

Two Piece Clamp Rigid Couplings are mechanical devices designed to connect two shafts together in a fixed position. They consist of two separate halves that are clamped around the shafts, providing a ...
