Industrial Coupling Solutions

High speed power transmission flexible shaft couplings – uni joints, jaw couplings and elastomeric can only run at 4° misalignment before they cause equipment failure through increased vibration and the general failure of the couplings themselves, Twin Spring’s Coupling can run at high speed and high torque and still be torsionally rigid at 15°, meaning less downtime for flexible coupling replacement and less wear and tear on belts, shafts and other components.

Jaw couplings

Jaw Couplings: The Unsung Heroes of Power Transmission As an industrial business owner, I’ve come to rely on jaw couplings as the unsung heroes of my power transmission systems. These robust and versatile components have played a crucial role in keeping my machinery running smoothly and efficiently, day in and day out. Over the years, […]

No 1 reason for Coupling failures – bearing contaminants, time for something new?

Coupling Bearing U joint failure

Coupling bearing contaminants – Water, mud, dirt and dust contaminants are one of the many ways that bring uni joints to a halt. Rubber boots, constant greasing and inspections are the usual way used to keep the coupling bearing inside couplings working. That’s part of the ROI but what about the annual cost that adds […]

Coupling Solutions for Industrial power transmission coupling failures

Coupling solutions for industrial sector

Coupling solutions replace Lovejoy Universal Joints, Jaw couplings and other couplings. With the 24/7 demands on industrial couplings especially now with the COVID 19 virus meaning less service people and OEM MRO supplies are available, the service manager of these industrial companies have decisions to make. How do I get the most out of the […]

Covid 19 and coupling maintenance

Covid 19 means less people means less coupling maintenance means more breakdowns In times of crisis like we are living through now we have less people to do the work that needs to be done as most people are at home trying to steer clear of contracting or worse spreading the Covid 19 virus. This […]

The true cost of universal joints

Automotive Universal Joints replacement with Twin Spring Coupling

The true cost of universal joints are not so simple, a low initial price but with ongoing maintenance means it becomes a lot more expensive Lets face it, its an old technology, 115 years old to be exact, the first use of the word by inventor Robert Hooke in 1676 shows the coupling is far […]

Spring’s here – its universal joint maintenance time.

Lovejoy NB10-B 3/4 In

Spring’s here – its universal joint maintenance time. Universal Joint and power transmission couplings So the weather is changing, the short cold days of winter are starting to recede. Now is the time of the service manager starting to his maintenance schedule for plant and equipment. Couplings come into play here as the constant greasing […]
