The grid coupling of a large water pump at Sheffield Forgemasters Engineering Ltd. (S.F.E.L.) was coming to the end of its operational life. To avoid costly re-engineering of the pump S.F.E.L. wanted to commission a bespoke coupling to match the original’s footprint. While most suppliers were unable to produce a coupling to the right size, Altra Industrial Couplings was able to match the design of the original and work in partnership with S.F.E.L. to produce it.

So you’ve just shelled out big money on a powerful new pump, and more for the motor to run it. Your next big decision is how to connect the two in a way that maximizes their efficiencies and protects them from normal wear and tear.

Coupling the driving and driven shafts would be simple if they were perfectly aligned, if machines didn’t vibrate, and if the shafts never actually moved. In the real world of power transmission, however, a flexible coupling can accommodate for the flaws and dynamics inherent in most systems.

Application Profile: Offshore Platform Cable/Hose Reels

Offshore Oil Platform

Product: Dynatork 3 Air Motors

Application: Offshore Platform Cable/Hose Reels

Cable reel sets are typically leased to clients for a month at a time. The cable/hose reel sets are utilized on offshore oil and gas well platforms. The Huco air motor is used to maintain tension on the control cable as it is lowered into the well. For 80-90% of its utilization, the air motor serves as a back stop (even though it can be operated in both directions) when the reel is in the “stall or hold” position. Units will not burn out or cause overload. Dynatork air motors feature a sealed body design eliminating damage from salt and sand, which makes them ideal for use in offshore applications. Units are reliable in extreme conditions from -20 to +60˚C. Read Article

Product: PEEK MultiBeam Couplings

Application: Solar Panel High Voltage Capacitors

A large household name in the Japanese consumer electronics industry recently sourced an alternative coupling to replace Huco PEEK (Polyether ether ketone) MultiBeam units used in high voltage capacitors. After supplying around 30 machines to a solar panel manufacturer, the electronics giant got a shock when an electrical discharge problem caused one of the machines to malfunction, leading to their recall to be refitted with Huco couplings.
