Rigid Shaft Couplings

meet specific shaft mating challenges

Specialty Shaft Couplings are each designed to perform specifc functions. They include the 100: 1 Phase Adjuster for precise static phase adjustment, PowerRing Rigid Shaft Couplings that transmit up to 3X the torque load of conventional clamp-type couplings, Precision

Sleeve Couplings to assure shaft alignment within 0.001 TIR, fange couplings for mounting, and remachinable couplings for mating dissimilar shafts.

The SuperCool Series TEA features a unique hot side air heat sink design that dissipates heat more effciently than competing heat exchanger technologies. Using optimized thermoelectric modules (TEMs) in combination with a high-performance heat sink and fan shroud assembly, the SuperCool TEAs transfers heat to air more rapidly.

tvLYT is a high-reso-lution liquid crystal thermography system that provides a cost-effective and portable solution for precision temperature measurement of electronics, circuit boards, micro-cir-cuits, hybrid components, and integrated circuits. Use tvLYT to locate hot spots and defects, design and verify integrated circuits, and quickly and easily analyze the temperature gradient of devices and systems.

Dumper for Bulk Materials

accommodates pails up to 5 gallons

TIP-TITE Pail Dumper empties pails containing high density bulk solid materials into downstream processing or storage vessels dust-free. The unit accommodates pails of up to 5 gallons measuring up to 15 in. in height and weighing up to

750 lb. The unit features dual hydraulic cylinders that work in tandem to raise and seat the pail rim against a specially-confgured cone, and then tip the pail to an angle of 45, 60 or

90-deg. with a motion-dampening feature.

3D Printer Provides Large Build Volume
offers a layer resolution of 100 microns

The MakerBot Replicator Z18 3D Printer makes solid, three-dimensional objects out of melted filament on a massive 12 x 12 x 18 in. build volume to create full-scale parts. That’s 1.7X bigger than the next-larg-est competitor.

This means users can print more parts faster, and cut down on product development time.

Featuring the Smart Extruder+, the printer delivers dependable, consistent performance with superior results using MakerBot PLA Filament.

The Z18 also offers the user to control the printer through MakerBot Print or remotely with MakerBot Mobile.Store to organize and access 3D design fles in a personal cloud-enabled library. MakerBot’s free downloadable software is compatible with Mac or Windows computers.

MakerBot Desktop is a free app for preparing 3D prints and managing your 3D content. Whether users print directly to the MakerBot Replicator Z18 3D Printer via USB cable, Wi-Fi or Ethernet, or they export their print fles to a USB drive, MakerBot Desktop is where all prints begin.
