We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Angular Misalignment",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Bearings cope with harsh agricultural applications from
Schaeffler (UK), which we summarised at the time by saying "Schaeffler has developed a ready-to-fit bearing unit with triple-lip sealing to avoid the need for maintenance in tough agricultural applications".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Couplings resist vibration from
Stock Drive Products/Sterling Instrument: "S50F and S50P couplings are stocked in two hub styles; conventional pin type hubs which use a set screw for fastening and a Fairloc version".
In October 2007, we covered the news from Stock Drive Products/Sterling Instrument
concerning its S50HAWM and S50HAA
- take a look at Helical couplings offer fastening options
which says: "Sterling Instrument helical couplings adapt to both high and low-speed applications with a high level of fatigue resistance".
Take a look also at the news release from Stock Drive Products/Sterling Instrument, Flexible couplings handle fast revolutions,
as well as Couplings tolerate misalignment from Ruland Manufacturing Co,
and Encoder couplings cover multiple requirements from Schmidt-Kupplung.
