The centre disc is the only wearing component in an Oldham coupling. When everything else about the coupling is correctly specified and installed, the disc is what limits service life — and replacing it at the right time is what prevents a gradual performance...

Medical devices impose a set of requirements on their mechanical components that goes well beyond what most industrial applications demand. Precision must be absolute — a diagnostic instrument that produces variable results depending on how its drive mechanism is...

Stepper motors are the workhorse of low-to-medium cost motion control. From desktop 3D printers and CNC routers to laboratory dispensers and industrial indexing equipment, the stepper motor’s ability to move in precise angular increments without a position...

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...
