The objective of optimized shaft alignment is to increase the operating life span of rotating machinery. To achieve this goal, components that are the most likely to fail must be made to operate ...

Interfacing a shaft to a 3D printed gear doesn’t have to be tricky. [Tlalexander] demonstrated a solution that uses one half of a spider coupling (or jaw coupling) to create an effective modular ...

Floating Shaft CD couplings provide a torsionally stiff, zero-backlash option for connecting long distances between shaft ends Floating Shaft CD couplings provide a torsionally stiff, zero-backlash ...

It has been a long haul, but I finally have the motor in my '67 Beetle EV conversion. I've had one setback after another, but I expected it to be the most technically challenging part of the job and I ...

Engineers and designers commonly use electric motors to power hydraulic pumps. In some cases, the motor and pump are set up in a direct drive configuration. In others, they are connected using an ...

NUM’s new TMX series direct drive motors have an extremely low cogging torque, making them suitable for applications that demand very smooth and accurate rotation, especially at low speeds. Typical ...
