This has been an exciting year for Mar-Dustrial. As a part of our continued commitment to excellence, we looked at which of our blog posts have been the most useful to our readers. Whether you’re looking to brush up on information about FALK couplings or what how to deal with a misaligned control shaft, these blog posts are sure to help.
Different Types of Coupling Systems – This blog originally published in September 2011, was our most popular article of 2013, and we can guess why. As a resource for information on coupling systems, it’s incredibly thorough. This post explains the main purpose of FALK couplings, the differences between them as well as maintenance tips. This is a great read for anyone that is unfamiliar with coupling systems and wants to learn more.
Taking the Heat: Thermal Limits of a Gearbox – Originally published in March 2011, this blog post explains, as the name suggests, the thermal limits of a gearbox. Each gearbox has a thermal rating based on the maximum power it can transmit without surpassing a predetermined oil temperature. The article goes on to explain how to keep a gearbox from surpassing its oil temperature, thus saving you the headache of power transmission failure.
Shaft Misalignment 101: Radial, Angular, and Axial – Published in July 2011, this blog post explains the most common types of shaft misalignment you’re likely to encounter. When you know what the problem is, the solution is always easier to find. Addressing shaft misalignment will improve performance and increase the life of your equipment.
Noise Reduction Strategies for Industrial Machinery – Even though this blog post is nearly two years old, originally published in January 2011, the information is timeless. Industrial noise is common with the use of heavy machinery; however, excessive noise levels can do permanent damage to a person’s hearing. It is very important to identify the cause of excess noise, not only for the safety of your workers, but also to avoid damaging your equipment.
Types of Falk Shaft Couplings and Their Uses – FALK shaft couplings come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and therefore have different applications. This blog, originally posted in October 2011, explains to readers the ins and outs that you are likely to encounter for a power transmission’s needs.
