There are a number of factors that influence Falk F coupling selection. The first step, of course, is to calculate your torque requirements – grid-style F couplings are designed to handle the most torque of any coupling type. The next rating to consider is service factor. A coupling’s service factor is based on the estimated […]

A failed coupling can spell disaster for an industrial operation. At minimum, you’re looking at downtime while the repair is made; at its worst, a broken coupling can cause massive financial loss in the form of damaged equipment. Although Falk F couplings have a reputation for longevity and durability – they transmit torque without slip […]

Couplings play a critical role in any industrial machinery configuration. As the point of connection between rotating shafts, they allow power to be transmitted to the gear reducer, converted into torque and passed on to the machinery being driven. When chosen properly, the right couplings can even adjust for misalignments between connecting shafts. There are […]

Falk couplings come in many different varieties, each suited to certain situations or applications. Over the years, as Falk has refined its coupling designs and innovated new solutions for connecting mechanical parts, some couplings have fallen out of common use or have been replaced with more modern versions. One example of this phenomenon is the […]
