Oldham Coupling Failure Analysis: Common Causes and How to Prevent Them

Oldham couplings are among the most reliable components in a precision drive system. With no elastomeric elements to age, no springs to fatigue, and no lubrication passages to become blocked, they can operate for years without requiring attention. However, they are...

Oldham Coupling vs Jaw Coupling: Which One Is Right for Your System?

When engineers reach the coupling selection stage of a drive system design, the Oldham coupling and the jaw coupling (also known as the spider coupling or claw coupling) appear on the shortlist more often than almost any other type. Both are compact, affordable, and...
