High performance carbon fibre shaft couplings from Bibby Turboflex, part of the Altra Industrial Motion Group, can dramatically simplify the design, installation and maintenance of power transmission ...

In a single-shaft configuration, both prime movers (the gas and steam turbines) are on one shaft line connected by a synchronous self-shifting (SSS) clutch, and they drive a single, common generator ...

Precision line shafts transmit torque across longer distances while maintaining mechanical synchronization. Here we review their basics, as well as speed considerations. Line shafts span long ...

Because shafts provide the inner raceways for all linear bearings, theirs is often lumped into bearing design as an afterthought. But bearing raceway sections on shafts are very critical because some ...

VULKAN Couplings recently introduced a unique combination of the proven RATO DS coupling with a directly connected Composite shaft. The high radial stiffness and the comparably low axial and bending ...

In many four-wheel drive and all-wheel drive vehicles, steel driveshafts are segmented to provide necessary torque and vibrational performance characteristics. Unlike these segmented steel ...

Recent design patents show that BMW Motorrad is working on a layout for its upcoming electric motorcycles that features a longitudinallymounted electric motor and a shaft drive system. The design ...
