Superbolt Expansion Bolts Solve Coupling Bolting Problems
SuperboltÃ-® Expansion Bolts are ideally suited for shaft couplings; as seen here on this Francis type pump/generator shaft coupling at a pumped-storage facility. Coupling Bolts Overview: Couplings often require interference fit bolting elements for proper torque transfer. This makes manufacturing of the flange bores and mating bolts very expensive. For proper functioning of these bolts, high...
Read More »Flexible Couplings feature parallel misalignment capability.
Available with inch and metric bores and outside diameters from .250-2.000 in., SB5 Series and SB10 Series each have 5 and 10 sets of straight cuts, providing parallel misalignment capabilities. Couplings also accommodate angular misalignment, axial motion, and any combination of 3 types of misalignment. Clamp style, flexible straight beam couplings offer dynamic balancing, due to configuration...

Shock Absorbing Coupling Solutions for High Acceleration/Deceleration Applications
Marlborough, Massachusetts, February 2008. Ruland offers shock-absorbing jaw couplings for high acceleration/deceleration applications. High acceleration/deceleration applications create shock loads to system components. If not absorbed, the shock can result in excessive vibration and increased settling time, with a resulting loss in machine efficiency. In some more extreme cases, undampened...

Metal Bellows Couplings feature conical flanges.
Applied primarily to dynamic, controlled drives, Series AK metal bellows couplings are used where 2 rotating, opposite shafts must be coupled with force-locking and without backlash. Angular, lateral, and axial offset can be compensated, and resulting reaction forces can be neglected. Available in torque range of 30-5,000 Nm and diameters from 12-85 mm, products exhibit torsional stiffness and...
Read More »Metal Bellows enable backlash-free operation.
Suitable for use at numerically controlled machinery and equipment, AKD and AKN Couplings can be supplied with adjusting spring grooves. Clamping is designed to guarantee that torque transfer without adjusting spring grooves is absolutely backlash-free, even with high speeds. Both types of couplings are within torque range of 18-500 Nm and within shaft diameter range of 10-60 mm. Couplings can...
