Couplings

By Design News Staff -- Design News, June 22, 1998

Gerwah zero-backlash couplings are available in safety, metal bellows, and servo insert designs to provide servo-quality machine and drive protection for industrial machine applications. All lines are available with multiple clamping styles. Safety couplings feature a pre-stressed Bellville spring to disengage highly dynamic servomotors within 2 to 4 msec. Metal bellows couplings feature high torsional stiffness and low inertia. Electrically insulated servo insert couplings are available to increase dampening without deformation.

Light Matters: Systems Level Approach to HBLED illumination applications
Its good practice to apply a systems-level approach to high-brightness LED (HBLED) illumination applications. Minimally, the system includes the optical, thermal and electrical characteristics of the of the HBLED, the lens (if any) which is built-in to its package, secondary optics such as external plastic lenses/reflectors to direct the light as your application requires and power driver electronics.
