Understanding the Different Types of Industrial Couplings and Their Applications As a small business owner in the manufacturing industry, I’ve come to appreciate the importance of industrial couplings in keeping my operations running smoothly. These unsung heroes of the mechanical world play a crucial role in transmitting power and motion between rotating shafts, and the […]
Tag Archives: beam coupling
Beam couplings are an old high speed coupling with a limited degree of angular misalignment. The coupling resembles a tube with a number of cuts through it. There are single or multiple beams depending on flexibility required.
The maximum angle of misalignment in a multiple beam is only 4° which limits its use. Twin Spring Couplings can run at the same high speed (7000 RPM) but with increased angular misalignment (15°) and increased torque Up to 6000 In lbs.

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 […]

Power transmission couplings – Universal Joints, jaw type couplings, beam couplings, bellows couplings and elastomeric couplings all suffer from the same design flaws. We have always used them, they are the only things we use, we just accept the annual maintenance cost and failure rate. A common story from manufacturers and distributors, the power transmission […]
