Elastomer couplings are a type of shaft coupling. They transfer torque between two shafts and perform tasks such as power transmission, compensating alignment errors, but also damping of shocks and vibrations. Elastomer couplings ensure optimal power transmission by using various materials, and also based on their material properties and shape. The properties of the respective elastomer coupling simultaneously prevent vibrations of the drive shaft from being transmitted to the coupled shaft. The following article discusses which properties these are, how the hardness of elastomers is determined and what application examples there are.

In mechanical engineering and in general automation processes, it is essential that materials and construction components are transported quickly and efficiently from A to B. This requires purposeful guidance and alignment along the conveying paths. Rollers and also drums contribute significantly toward fulfilling these functions. This article examines which types of materials are used and for which specific applications rollers are used.

Belt conveyors are versatile conveyor systems that play a critical role for optimizing industrial production processes. From its basic design to the various types of drives to the capacity of the conveyor, this blog highlights how to get the most out of your conveyor. We will also take a look at the different belt shapes used on belt conveyors and will show you what to look for when replacing the belts to ensure smooth operation in your industrial plant.

Gas compression springs support moving parts or compensate weight. They are used, for example, for doors, hatches or swivel arms. Especially in mechanical engineering and plant engineering, it can be useful for safety reasons to provide certain components and machines with hatches. Gas springs support opening and closing these, especially on heavy hatches and doors. This blog article explains how they work, what variants there are and where else they can be used.

Material handling engineers rely on roller conveyors to efficiently transport products, goods and materials. They are invaluable, particularly in logistics, but also in many other industries and various manufacturing processes. This article discusses how roller conveyors are constructed, how they work and which variants there are.

Technical ceramics are ceramics used in specialized technical applications. Due to their special properties, such as resistance to high temperatures and chemicals, they are often the better choice in certain applications than components made of metal, for example. This article shows some of the possible applications and discusses the material composition and production of technical ceramics.
