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 ...

1. Don't choose your coupling based on habit or price alone. Because engineers are creatures of habit, choosing a coupling type is often a matter of having selected that same type for a previous ...

Torque spikes can melt elastomers and damage couplings. Learn how to prevent it. Torsional vibration is an occurrence that can have a negative effect on coupling elastomer elements. It can also have a ...
