Motors and gearboxes that generate high torque and acceleration may make shaft keys obsolete. Knowing the advantages and disadvantages of keyless and keyed shaft connections is vital when connecting ...

During design, engineers must decide how to connect each involved power transmission component (and other items) to shafting. Traditional connection methods fall into the three categories mentioned. A ...

High performance carbon fibre shaft couplings from Bibby Turboflex, part of the Altra Industrial Motion Group, can dramatically simplify the design, installation and maintenance of power transmission ...

When an engine produces power and clutch and transmission convert it into required torque, some assembly is needed to carry this torque to driving axle or usually to rear axle. This assembly is known ...

The difference between flexible shaft couplings and rigid shaft couplings is not just in the terminology but in adsorption of torque. Shaft alignment is key to preventing unnecessary wear and damage ...
