We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Flexible Couplings",
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 Flexible couplings handle fast revolutions from
Stock Drive Products/Sterling Instrument, which we summarised at the time by saying "Stock Drive Products' spline-type flexible couplings have a Polyurethane or Hytrel spline with zinc alloy die cast or sintered metal hubs".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Leadscrew actuators tolerate dust and dirt from
Ondrives/Rino Industries: "Ondrives has released a low profile linear leadscrew actuator with leadscrew drive made for adjustment and handling tasks in particular".
In May 2007, we covered the news from Copley Controls Corp
concerning its Copley Motion Systems STB11 motors
- take a look at Slim motor offers high acceleration
which says: "Copley Motion Systems' STB11 motors provide ten times the speed and ten times the life of ballscrew actuators".
Take a look also at the news release from Copley Controls Corp, Linear motor offers superior control stiffness,
as well as Slim actuator delivers superior force from Copley Controls Corp,
and Staying on the straight and narrow from SKF UK.
