Results for tag: "Flexible Shaft Couplings"

Flexible shaft couplings are a subset of the broader fasteners market, which encompasses a wide range of mechanical components used for holding parts together or in place in various machines, structures, and systems. Shaft couplings are specifically designed to connect two shafts together at their ends for the purpose of transmitting power. They come in various designs, adapting to different levels of torque transmission and accommodating varying degrees of shaft misalignment which may be present due to manufacturing tolerances, operational conditions, or wear and tear over time. Flexible shaft couplings, in particular, are used to transmit torque while also permitting some radial, axial, and angular misalignment. They are essential in applications that require precision and reliability under dynamic conditions, such as in motors, pumps, and gearboxes, across industries like automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing. They help in reducing stress on the shafts and supporting bearings by allowing for some movement, thereby improving the longevity and performance of the entire system. Some known entities in the flexible shaft couplings market include Ruland Manufacturing Co., Inc., Lovejoy, Inc., Altra Industrial Motion, Rexnord Corporation, Timken Company, SKF, and Tsubakimoto Chain Co. These companies specialize in the production and distribution of high-quality coupling products and often provide a broad spectrum of related services, from design to maintenance, catering to the bespoke needs of a diversified industrial clientele.
