Oldham couplings are an excellent choice when selected for the proper application. We asked Bobby Watkins of Ruland Manufacturing to give us some insight on general coupling selection. The following ...

Shaft couplings face many hurdles: Excessive misalignment, vibration, and exposure to chemicals and dirt can all lead to premature coupling failure. One particularly pernicious foe is elevated ambient ...

Beam couplings come as standard parts in 20 body sizes with outside diameters as small as 3/8 in. (9 mm) and bores as small as 3/32 in. (3 mm). They feature multiple spiral cuts to accommodate angular ...

Even if a pump fails repeatedly, or if a motor's bearings continually fail before their rated life cycle, don't assume it's the pump or motor design to blame; it may just be that misalignment and the ...

Couplings Types. Couplings can be divided into two categories: flexible and rigid. Both types are used to connect two rotating shafts driven by a motor and transmit torque and angular velocity; ...
