‘Bellows Coupling’

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 Micromech offers complete linear motion solution from Micromech: "Micromech's Promech linear actuators from Parker are for OEM instrument manufacturers looking to speed time to market and reduce the overall installed cost for linear motion axes. ".
 
In October 2009, we covered the news from ESI Group - take a look at ESI software supports PT-Grid project which says: "ESI Group has announced its participation in the Plasma Technology (PT) Grid project, a three-year joint initiative funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). ".
 
Take a look also at the news release from Festo, Festo develops low-cost electric actuator, as well as Leak-free couplings aid nuclear decommissioning from Staubli UK (Connectors), and Parker Hannifin announces hybrid system commitment from Parker Hannifin - Parker Sales UK.
