‘Bellows Couplings’
A Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
SDP expands rotating component fastener range from
Stock Drive Products/Sterling Instrument, which we summarised at the time by saying "Stock Drive Products has added two more fasteners to its range of Shaftloc products.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Mayr celebrates 10 years of Smartflex couplings from
Mayr Transmissions: "Backlash-free shaft misalignment compensation couplings from the Smartflex series feature a direct clamping system for the flexible steel bellows. ".
In November 2008, we covered the news from Igus UK
- take a look at Solaroptimus increases solar energy by 30 per cent
which says: "The Solaroptimus tracking systems on the latest Conergy photovoltaic systems have been designed to ensure they are always at the correct angle to the sun.".
Take a look also at the news release from Mayr Transmissions, Mayr drives backlash-free torque transmission,
as well as PPE releases the G75M for improved sealing from Precision Polymer Engineering,
and Schmidt-Kupplung releases Controlflex from Schmidt-Kupplung.
