Shaft design veteran Alex Dee co-founded Aretera with a straightforward but subversive thesis: Stability and stiffness aren't the same. The post The story behind Aretera’s first-of-its-kind shaft ...

VULKAN Couplings recently introduced a unique combination of the proven RATO DS coupling with a directly connected Composite shaft. The high radial stiffness and the comparably low axial and bending ...

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 ...

Because shafts provide the inner raceways for all linear bearings, theirs is often lumped into bearing design as an afterthought. But bearing raceway sections on shafts are very critical because some ...

Precision line shafts transmit torque across longer distances while maintaining mechanical synchronization. Here we review their basics, as well as speed considerations. Line shafts span long ...

Conventional pump mechanical seals, lip/contact seals, and packing as sealing methods work well when you’re pumping clean liquids, but operators eventually find shaft fretting and wear on the sleeves ...
