‘Bellows Couplings’
An Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Riley to distribute pressure-fed shot blasting from
Riley Industries, which we summarised at the time by saying "Riley Surface World has announced an agreement with Contracor to distribute its range of pressure-fed shot blasting systems in the UK. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release R+W couplings have heavy-duty torque ratings from
R+W Coupling Technology: "R+W has introduced BK3 couplings with heavy-duty torque ratings and high-strength conical clamping hubs for high-torque servo gearboxes. ".
In October 2009, we covered the news from Staubli UK (Connectors)
- take a look at Leak-free couplings aid nuclear decommissioning
which says: "The larger sizes of Staubli's HCB dry break, non-spill connectors are particularly suitable for high-integrity bulk handling and filling applications where any leakage would be unacceptable. ".
Take a look also at the news release from Ruland Manufacturing Co, Ruland introduces miniature couplings,
as well as Schmidt couplings handle all shaft displacements from Zero-Max,
and SKF couplings enable stronger shaft connections from SKF UK.
