The function of a coupling is to connect two rotating shafts, for the transfer of rotary motion and torque. For a coupling to work at its optimum efficiency, it must match all required conditions, including performance, environmental, use and service factors. If all of these factors have been taken into consideration when select
Power transmission couplings are used to connect two shafts that turn in the same direction on the same centerline. There are three principal types of couplings; rigid, flexible, and special purpose. Rigid couplings are used in applications where misalignment is not a factor, where flexibility is not required, and where the coup
Alcan Machine Co. has a wide effort in producing any type of high-speed gearboxes, reducer gearboxes, gearboxes of cooling tower fans, and planetary gearboxes. In the power plant, petrochemical, and refinery industries, essential requirements for high-speed gearboxes are evident and with a wide effort in related production, this
Thrust ball bearings are able to withstand high axial forces, but these bearings are not able to withstand radial forces at all, so under no circumstances will the round bearings be affected by radial force. The difference between single-sided and double-sided floor bearings is in the direction of their axial load-bearing so tha
