The objective of optimized shaft alignment is to increase the operating life span of rotating machinery. To achieve this goal, components that are the most likely to fail must be made to operate ...

Productivity is a shared goal in industrial applications involving designers, component makers, and end users. Everyone plays a role. In this report, Motion System Design editors polled coupling and ...

Proper shaft alignment of directly coupled machines has proven to be one of the greatest money savers for machinery-intensive industries over the last 25 years. When poorly done, usually for lack of ...

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 ...

In the world of electrical rotating machines, proper alignment plays a critical role in the longevity, efficiency and reliability of equipment. Misalignment, whether angular or parallel, is one of the ...

I was splitting wood one day a few years back, getting next winter’s firewood ready on my hydraulic splitter. It normally handled my ash and oak with ease, but I had a particularly gnarly piece of ...

Orientational restraints such as residual dipolar couplings promise to overcome many of the problems that traditionally limited liquid-state nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Recently, we ...
