The LP Survivor Series of disc-pack couplings from R+W America, Bensenville, Ill. (www.rw-america.com), transmit torque using friction. A series of bushings press the disc pack together. Precise ...

Researchers in China have isolated the effects of electronic friction, showing for the first time how the subtle drag force ...

Voith SmartSet Coupling limits the torque between the generator and the turbine in the event of a fault Tests with KAWASAKI Heavy Industries confirm ENTSO-E Grid Code compatibility Voith SmartSet ...

As more intermittent renewable energy resources are added to the power grid, generator connectivity during a grid fault becomes ever more important to mitigate the risk of cascading blackouts. An ...

The roles flexible couplings fill are well known – they connect imperfectly aligned shafts and transmit torque, with or without backlash. Such devices are necessary in many systems and available in ...

Torque limiting couplings allow a user to protect mechanical equipment, or its work, from damage from mechanical overload. These torque limiters are designed for machines with chain, gear or belt ...
