A new series of connectors from ITT, the CmX family, reduces the cost, weight, and size of conventional circular servo motor connectors. A new series of connectors from ITT, the CmX family, reduces ...

The new SP4 motor variant, designed for use with variable speed drives, features integrated shaft grounding technology and ...

Flexible power transmission couplings usually accommodate a specific distance between the shaft ends of the machines they connect. But an expandable coupling lets the distance between shaft ends vary ...

Motor shaft current can cause arcing that damages both bearings and couplings. One way to prevent this arc-induced damage is to use insulated couplings. Machinery manufacturers often use electrically ...

High vibration is a common problem for motors installed on top of vertical pumps. Its source can stem from a mechanical issue with the pump, motor, or coupling — or even hydraulic forces from the pump ...

For retrofits Electro Static Technology’s AEGIS® Shaft Voltage Test Kit makes it easier than ever to measure and document damaging VFD-induced voltages while there is still time to head off bearing ...

Interfacing a shaft to a 3D printed gear doesn’t have to be tricky. [Tlalexander] demonstrated a solution that uses one half of a spider coupling (or jaw coupling) to create an effective modular ...

The vast majority of bearing failures in electric motors and electric motor-driven equipment are due to mechanical and thermal causes. However, currents that flow through induction motor bearings can ...
