Wave alignment with the laser
Shaft alignment is essential to ensure that the drivetrain functions optimally. Perfect shaft alignment is essential to avoid expensive repairs or even breakdowns. In this article, we at PMP explain the advantages of shaft alignment with a laser and present our services in the field of alignment control.
Highly flexible Couplings
Couplings play a central role in the field of drive technology. They ensure the smooth transmission of torque and make it possible to synchronize movements between different components. In this article, we will take a closer look at highly flexible couplings.
Thrust bearing
Together with the technical joint, bearings are among the guiding elements in machine and device construction. The bearings enable movements in desired degrees of freedom. They also restrict movement in undesirable degrees of freedom. A distinction is made between different bearing types according to these degrees of freedom.
Rigid Couplings
Couplings connect two shafts together. Depending on the design of the machine, this connection can be rigid, flexible or even flexible, making it necessary to install a flexible or rigid Coupling. In the past, rigid couplings were regarded as the inexpensive, imprecise variants of couplings.
Pin couplings
Pin couplings consist of two flanges that are joined together. On one flange, bolts are evenly distributed in a circle. The second flange has matching recesses into which the bolts engage.
Movable Couplings
Whether rigid, flexible or flexible couplings: It should be noted that shaft couplings are indispensable elements of any drive technology and create an effective connection between two shafts. The main task here is the reliable transmission of torque.
CENTA drives
When it comes to Couplings, CENTA Antriebe Kirschey GmbH is an absolute specialist. CENTA’s global portfolio includes both torsionally flexible and torsionally rigid couplings. Each individual Coupling is responsible for transmitting the power of the engine to the transmission.
REICH Couplings
The manufacturer REICH describes REICH Couplings as a symbol of “smooth and efficient economy”. Based in Bochum, Germany, the company REICH offers an extensive portfolio. This portfolio divides couplings according to their elastic behavior – highly torsionally flexible, torsionally flexible and torsionally rigid.
Flexible claw coupling
The flexible claw coupling – also known as a torsionally flexible coupling, elastomer coupling, cam coupling or shaft balancer 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 elastic spider fills the remaining gaps and consequently gives the Coupling its damping properties
FLENDER COUPLINGS
FLENDER GmbH is an international manufacturer of mechanical and electrical drive systems that has been offering a wide range of gear units, Couplings, generators and associated services for more than 120 years. Customers can purchase both universal and customized gearboxes, Couplings, etc. Requirements are adapted to the specific application and implemented according to the customer’s wishes.
