‘Angular Misalignments’

An Engineeringtalk guide

Start with the news release R+W couplings have heavy-duty torque ratings from R+W Coupling Technology, which we summarised at the time by saying "R+W has introduced BK3 couplings with heavy-duty torque ratings and high-strength conical clamping hubs for high-torque servo gearboxes. ". Several months prior to that, we featured the news release Barden provides super-precision bearings from Barden Corporation: "The Barden Corporation offers custom-designed, super-precision bearings for use in a wide variety of high-performance air handling systems. ".

In October 2009, we covered the news from Variohm Eurosensor - take a look at Rotary position sensor suits harsh environments which says: " Variohm Eurosensor has launched a rotary position sensor for price-sensitive industrial and automotive applications in harsh and extended-temperature-range environments. ".

Take a look also at the news release from Zero-Max, Schmidt couplings handle all shaft displacements, as well as Gavazzi sensors measure environmental variables from Carlo Gavazzi, and Servomax couplings handle 10,000,000 cycles from R+W Coupling Technology.
