Three coupling types dominate the zero-backlash motion control market: the Oldham coupling, the beam coupling (also known as the helical or slotted coupling), and the disc coupling (sometimes called the bellows disc or thin-disc coupling). All three provide...

Packaging machinery and industrial automation lines are among the most demanding operating environments for mechanical power transmission components. They run continuously — often 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — at cycle rates that accumulate tens of millions of...

Of all the places an Oldham coupling appears in a motion control system, none is more demanding — or more revealing of the coupling’s unique strengths — than the connection between a rotating shaft and a rotary feedback device such as an incremental encoder, an...

One of the most appealing characteristics of the Oldham coupling is its simplicity: three parts, no lubrication required (in polymer-disc versions), and no adjustment mechanisms to drift out of calibration. This simplicity extends to its maintenance requirements. A...

The coupling that connects a servo motor shaft to a ballscrew — a component that most machine operators never see and rarely think about — has an outsized influence on the positioning accuracy, repeatability, and long-term performance of a CNC machine. In modern...
