Keeping your Steelflex T couplings properly lubricated is a key step in ensuring a long life and optimal performance. The most common coupling lubricant is grease, which consists of a base oil and a thickener. In ideal conditions, the oil gradually bleeds from the thickener and seeps into the coupling’s components to provide protection against […]

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 […]
