Steel Bellows Couplings offer nominal torques from 24-120 Nm.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 08:40:35 -0500

Available in 3 sizes, backlash-free primeflex Couplings can be plugged in and dismantled safely without risk, and can be mounted onto shafts via clamping or shrink disk connections. Torque is transmitted via frictional locking or via frictional and positive locking. Misalignment capability compensates for axial, radial, and angular shaft misalignments, while internal mechanism with integrated stop prevents damage that can occur with excess mounting pressure.

Bellows Assemblies suit temperature responsive applications.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 08:27:35 -0500

Manufactured to customer's specifications, Athermalization Bellows Assemblies are thin-walled, electrodeposited nickel bellows, soldered to custom end pieces filled with working fluid and then sealed. By sealing specific volume of fluid within bellows, volumetric thermal expansion characteristic of fluid is transformed into measurable linear movement, which can be used as actuator, or calibrated to be read as control data.

Transport Mechanism moves large telescopic steel covers.

info@productnews.com (ThomasNet News) — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 07:43:13 -0500

Designed for speeds from 98-262 fpm, Transport Mechanism for Telescoping Steel Covers eliminates high limit stop forces and corresponding noises in all operational positions, moving smoothly when covers are pulled apart as well as when they come together. Mechanically muffled unit travels on guides for stability. Since mechanism is not positively driven, it does not need to move entire mass. Depending on length of stroke, only boxes moved are those required for clearance.
