Power Transmission

Universal joints and driveshaft assemblies are for steering and shift linkages in race cars, boats, industrial vehicles, and other applications.

Today's manufacturing processes often rely on quick stops and starts to boost productivity.

One and two-piece precision-honed rigid couplings, with and without keyways, come in aluminum, carbon steel, and stainless steel.

The AGK Ball Screw Drive Unit from Bosch Rexroth Corp., Charlotte, N.C., delivers up to five times the speed of traditional ball screws when used for extended-length applications.

The L75 Series of Limitorque electric valve actuators from Flowserve Corp., Irving, Tex., activate quarter-turn valves and other rotary devices.

Accu-Clamp couplings have an axial runout of less than 0.001 total indicated run-out.

The A 6B16-D Series of double-sided 0.080 pitch timing belts are for applications where timing belts do more than just transmit power.

Roller screws have the edge on ball screws in demanding, continuous-duty tasks.

The "Compact" MC Series of industrial gear units feature an extended bearing distance for mixing and agitating applications.

The TX Series of shaft couplers from R+W America LP, Bensenville, Ill., are made of glass-reinforced thermoplastic instead of the more-traditional metal.

The Limitorque Actuation Systems L75 Series of electric-valve actuators provides remote-control actuation of quarterturnvalves and other rotary devices, including on/off and modulating rotaryvalve applications.

Miniature 10-32 threaded elbow and straight compression fittings are for use with 1/4-in. OD tubing.

Except for a difference in pitch size, the same Poly Chain GT2 belt that powers dragsters at speeds exceeding 330 mph is widely found on HVAC units, conveyors, and food and beverage-handling drives.

Reducing the effects of temperature variations improves accuracy of T10FS torque flanges.

The hollow rotary DG Series actuators from Oriental Motor USA Corp., Torrance, Calif. (orientalmotor.com), handle higher torque to deliver stable, high-speed positioning of relatively large inertial loads.
