Flexible couplings play a key role in industrial drive systems. They connect motors, gearboxes and pumps, transmitting power while absorbing vibration and compensating for misalignment. When correctly ...

Why a flexible coupling? A flexible coupling exists to transmit power (torque) from one shaft to another; to compensate for minor amounts of misalignment; and, in certain cases, to provide protective ...

Road induced vibrations cause NVH problems in components especially those suspended off the vehicle frame. Harmonic vibrations can be destructive unless the components are rigidly coupled to the ...

I was splitting wood one day a few years back, getting next winter’s firewood ready on my hydraulic splitter. It normally handled my ash and oak with ease, but I had a particularly gnarly piece of ...

Martin Blue-Flex™ Grid Couplings handle high torque levels and high RPM applications in a small package. Unlike other metallic couplings, Martin Blue-Flex™ Grid Couplings have the ability to reduce ...

Engineers at the Naval Ship Systems Engineering Station (NAVSSES), Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division in Philadelphia recently oversaw the installation of dry flexible couplings on the ...

I M2 Ex h Mb X. N-EUPEX® flexible shaft couplings are designed on a modular principle and have a very simple construction. N-EUPEX types are made up of sub-assemblies to suit requirements. The ...

Couplings are most effective in attenuating noise and vibration. Deck penetration: the small size of grooved components makes them ideal for jobs where space is limited. Weight reductions by using ...
