The stainless-steel couplings are made with a highly chemical- resistant elastomer element press fit between precision-mounted coupling halves, which make for no backlash and guaranteed concentricity. The inserts come in four different Shore hardnesses for different damping and torque rigidity needs. The inserts are heat treated with no inconsistencies on the surface area in contact, offering better rotational positioning accuracy. The couplings' tight concentricity tolerance in the overall design offer a high torque density and smooth running. They are useful in packaging, food processing, semiconductor and other applications requiring frequent cleaning or exposure to the elements. They come in nine different sizes with torque capacities ranging from 2 Nm (17.7 lbs/inch)-2150 Nm (19,027 lbs/inch) and can take English or metric bores in the 3- to 80-mm range.
Our LinkedIn systems and product design engineering group discusses if they are happy with their decision of remaining a technical contributor instead of becoming a manager.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
