We have several times discussed the differences between coupling alignment tolerances and precision shaft alignment tolerances (see links below). As stated in those text the coupling manufacture’s ...

Sometimes it takes but one good idea to change everything. This was the case when Tom Koren, the director of engineering at NORD Gear Corporation in Waunakee, Wis., approached a potential customer ...

Viking Pump, a global leader in positive displacement pumping solutions, needed a replacement coupling for its crude oil pipeline injector pumps. The 210 GPM pumps are installed on Leased Automatic ...

Proper shaft alignment of directly coupled machines has proven to be one of the greatest money savers for machinery-intensive industries over the last 25 years. When poorly done, usually for lack of ...

In application areas as diverse as industrial, mobile, marine, machine tools, agricultural equipment and offshore installations, machinery that needs to generate high forces in a compact package will ...

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 ...
