Metallic Couplings – Part 2

Throughout a wastewater plant there are many applications that call for a coupling to be used between a pump and/ or gearbox and a driven load. Some of the mechanical considerations when choosing a coupling include:   Taking up misalignment between the motor output shaft and driven shaft Preventing Torque overloads Dampening vibration Minimizing shock […]

Mechanical Coupling for Wastewater Treatment -Selecting the Correct Type (Part 1)

Throughout a wastewater plant there are many applications that call for a coupling to be used between a pump and/or gearbox and a driven load. Before selecting a coupling there are some mechanical issues that need to be considered which include minimizing shock loading, dampening vibration, preventing torque overloads and correcting misalignment between shafts. We […]
