We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Flexible Coupling",
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 Fans handle the heat in the kitchen from
Under Control Instruments, which we summarised at the time by saying "Hot air circulation and tangential fan families are available in various sizes and outputs for use in a wide range of kitchen equipment".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Worm gears offer extended lifetimes from
Nord Gear: "Nord Gear's worm units are particularly robust and also mount in any orientation, making them a particularly versatile solution for conveyor applications".
In December 2006, we covered the news from KTR Couplings
concerning its Rotex RU and Radex MK
- take a look at Couplings increase reliability of train drives
which says: "KTR is entering new application ranges in train technology with a coupling design combining Rotex RU and Radex MK, each with the new Ruflex overload protection".
Take a look also at the news release from Abssac, Flexible shaft coupling avoids stress,
as well as Stands cut variables out of hardness tests from Hoto Instruments,
and Range extended with larger clutch from Mayr Transmissions.
