Shaft couplings are central components in drive technology and mechanical engineering because they connect shafts and enable efficient power transmission. The selection of the appropriate shaft coupling, such as e.g., a linear coupling as a non-rotary coupling, can, however, be difficult due to the wide variety of coupling types. This article introduces various selection criteria, such as motor power, required torque, and torsional characteristics, and provides guidance on designing the perfect shaft for your application.

Bearing accessories such as bearing shaft bolts, shaft nuts and bearing adapter sleeves play an important role in the installation of rolling bearings. Especially when attached to a housing or shaft, it ensures secure mounting that lasts a long time. However, there are a few aspects to consider during assembly and disassembly. This article will guide you through some common bearing retention methods and what to consider when installing and using them.

Magnetic couplings are innovative connecting elements that transmit torque without contact by means of magnetic forces. The power transmission is mechanically wear-free because the drive and output sides are hermetically separated from each other. To learn how to use this property, read our article. You will also learn about the design and function of magnetic couplings, as well as the various uses and advantages they bring. We also look at the limits of their use.

Shafts are a key element of almost any machine. In order for these components to function reliably, the bearings that carry these shafts must be perfectly matched to the respective application and installation situation. The selection of a suitable shaft bearing (rotary bearing) therefore has a significant impact on the service life and energy efficiency of a machine as well as its noise generation and maintenance requirements.

But which type of bearing is the right one for a particular shaft?

This guide shows how to select the optimal bearing solution for rotating and torsion shafts based on technical criteria and practical framework conditions.

Flat head screws are a special type of screw with a low, flat head. They are used in applications where the screw head cannot protrude far beyond the surface. Despite their low head height, they provide uniform load distribution, minimizing point loads and material stresses.

Heavy-duty anchors are a specialized form of metal anchors. Their load capacity is almost unlimited in the interaction of the employed system and the compatible substrate. Heavy-duty anchors with enormous load capacity are used in industrial environments, such as machine construction. The following article provides information on the different types of heavy-duty anchors, their uses and fastening methods.
