Machine-vision and optical-inspection systems demand precise motion control, and this requires precision components. One often overlooked but important component is the zerobacklash coupling that ...

Couplings chosen with application requirements in mind last longer, improve precision, and protect other system components from premature failure. • Engineers should choose couplings that compensate ...

VALLEY COTTAGE, N.Y. – Misalignment of shafts is unavoidable because a shaft, in most cases, is aligned when a machine is unloaded. That apart, operational force also causes shafts to bend. Moreover, ...

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 ...
