Bearings, together with the technical joint, are among the guiding elements in machine and equipment construction. The bearings enable movements in desired degrees of freedom. In addition, they restrict movement in undesired degrees of freedom. Different types of bearings are distinguished according to these degrees of freedom.

Couplings connect two shafts with each other. Depending on the design of the machine, this connection can be rigid, flexible or even movable, which makes it necessary to install a flexible or a rigid coupling. In the past, rigid couplings were considered the low-cost, imprecise variants of couplings.

The manufacturer REICH describes REICH couplings as a symbol of "smooth and efficient economy". Based in Bochum, Germany, REICH offers an extensive portfolio. This portfolio divides couplings according to their elastic behavior - highly torsionally flexible, torsionally flexible and torsionally rigid.

The flexible claw coupling - also often called torsionally flexible coupling, elastomer coupling, cam coupling or shaft balancing coupling - consists of two coupling halves (hubs) and an elastomer ring gear. In addition, there are concave claws (cast cams) on the end faces of the hubs, which engage with each other. The elastomeric spider fills remaining gaps and consequently gives the coupling its damping property.

In this blog post, you will learn about two quality features that keep your ball bearing running smoothly and that we look for when buying ball bearings from different ball bearing manufacturers.When comparing rolling bearings or ball bearings from different manufacturers, there are significant differences in quality. Rolling bearings are functionally critical machine elements. We therefore always select products from different ball bearing manufacturers with care.

The prefix "special" in the word special couplings already expresses that something is not "commonplace", but intended for a special purpose. And that is exactly what PMP Individual industrial couplings are. With regard to infinite possibilities of power transmission between engine and gearbox, it is somehow almost quite normal again that every application needs its special coupling solution.

The care of rubber couplings- we tell you what to consider. Rubber elements serve both to transmit power and to dampen vibrations. In addition, rubber elements (depending on the coupling) compensate for radial misalignments, angular errors and axial misalignments. In addition to choosing the right rubber element, you should pay attention to regular care and maintenance of the elements.

Is your clutch defective and needs to be repaired? For the repair of your coupling it is always advisable to have suitable tools on site. Depending on the working environment or workplace, different tools are required on site. But no matter in which field you work: high-quality tools are an absolute must! After all, removing annoying flash rust or the annoyance of a tool that can't be used is nerve-wracking. Plus, a malfunctioning clutch means costly downtime. Take precautions.
