It’s another first for Zero-Max—a unique Gas Nitriding option to protect Overhung Load Adaptor (OHLA) shafts while enhancing overall system performance.
Because OHLAs are most often used in harsh outdoor environments including exposure to heat, rain, humidity, salt water, dirt and debris, protecting the OHLA shaft can be an important consideration. The new Gas Nitriding (Gaseous Nitrocarburizing) option for OHLA shafts provides superior corrosion resistance, surface hardness to boost strength and durability, and adds lubricity to the shaft, which benefits shaft seal life by reducing friction and wear.
For over 50 years, the Turbomachinery & Pump Symposia (TPS) has remained one of the most important annual events for rotating equipment professionals. The 2025 event takes place September 16–18 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston. Hosted by the Turbomachinery Laboratory at Texas A&M University, TPS brings together engineers, operators, and manufacturers from across the oil & gas, petrochemical, power, aerospace, chemical, and water industries.
Thordon Bearings has recently seen its RiverTough tailshaft bearing solution surpass 500 installations in the workboat sector. Primarily a retrofit solution but also increasingly specified for newbuilds, RiverTough is designed for coastal and inland waterways, where conditions are typically muddy and abrasive.
Clark Seals has announced a major expansion of its seal manufacturing facility in Tulsa, OK. This investment will triple the company’s U.S. production capacity and introduce new automation and manufacturing technologies to enhance product quality, shorten lead times, and reduce costs to globally competitive levels.
SKF has completed the previously announced divestment of its ring and seal operation in Hanover, Pennsylvania, USA, to Carco PRP Group for a total enterprise value of USD 215 million, corresponding to approximately SEK 2.1 billion. The divestment will result in a capital gain amounting to approximately SEK 0.8 billion in Q2 and will be reported as Items affecting comparability.
In this article David Kaley, Trelleborg’s global segment manager for industrial automation, explains the different kinds of robots used in industrial automation, their components and the kinds of sealing elements needed to help ensure precise performance results.
As dry running systems, electric motors operate on reduced lubrication versus their gas-powered wet-running counterparts, requiring specific sealing solutions to manage friction and heat generation.
A new website that includes thousands of shaft collars, couplings, and innovative mechanical components which are now available for sale online has been introduced by Stafford Manufacturing Corp. of Wilmington, MA.
Precision flexible shaft couplings come in two basic forms, both of which are designed to operate without backlash or excessive inertia while compensating for inevitable misalignment offsets between motor/gearbox and load. Torsionally stiff couplings are made with metallic flexible elements and with the intent to eliminate as much twisting deflection as possible so that the rotation of both shafts is kept as well synchronized as can be.
