What is the purpose of Abrasive Hardware?
Leave a CommentAbrasive hardware describes a group of tooling components that hold abrasive finishing products such as cartridge rolls, cut-off wheels, polishing buffs, wire brushes, and finishing wheels in place. Designs will vary depending on the abrasive product being used. Always remember to use recommended safety equipment when working with hand and power tools. For more information […]
Maintaining Component Integrity in Wastewater Treatment Plants
Leave a CommentClimax Shrink Disc style flanged couplings in lieu of bore-keyway-setscrew or interference fits, allows for stronger shafts while eliminating corrosion sites and stress risers that are a common point of failure. Mounting couplings with traditional keyed connections in treatment applications such as clarifier drives and drag conveyors introduces several compromises. Whenever a shaft is keyed, […]
Eliminate Unnecessary Downtime in Asphalt Mixing Plants
Leave a CommentClimax Keyless Locking Assemblies facilitate the repair and rebuild of rotary asphalt plant trunnions providing a cost-effective and maintenance-friendly alternative to the traditional sweat fit methods. Asphalt plants incorporate the use of a series of trunnions for rotating drums containing hot asphalt mix. For years these trunnion wheels were manufactured from one piece of steel […]
Productivity Solutions for Food Processing
Leave a CommentClimax C600 Series Keyless Rigid Couplings provide a superior cost-effective method to mount motors and gearboxes over traditional approaches in food processing applications. Traditional methods to mount hydraulic motors and/or gearboxes require expensive motor mounts and rely on flexible couplings. Failure to properly align shafts in these applications can lead to premature coupling failure, and […]
Keyless Locking Devices Eliminate the Need for Keyways in the Oil & Gas Industry
Leave a CommentClimax Keyless Locking Devices used in place of keyways when mounting shaft components for manufacturing cold rolled steel and welded pipes eliminate fretting and associated equipment damage. Traditionally, manufacturers of cold rolled steel and welded pipes in gas transmission use multiple hydraulic motors to drive the steel conveying rolls. These hydraulic motors are typically mounted […]
What type of rigid coupling does Climax manufacture?
Leave a CommentClimax manufactures rigid set screw couplings and rigid clamping couplings. We also offer customized dimensions, specialized plating and manufacture from a variety of materials. Set Screw Couplings are secured to the shaft by set screws that impinge upon the shaft. Set screw couplings are also available with a keyway for keyed shafts. Clamp Couplings are designed in […]
How Do Abrasive Sanding Drums Work?
Leave a CommentAbrasive sanding drums are used to mount an abrasive sanding sleeve. The rubber drum expands to hold the sanding sleeve in place. Sleeves are secured on the drum by controlled expansion of the solid rubber drum spindle. The rubber provides a cushioned backing to assure a smooth, even finish during use. Always remember to use […]
Climax Continues its Innovative Approach to Engineered Shaft Locking Solutions
Leave a CommentClimax Metal Products Company continues its innovative approach to Engineered Shaft Locking Solutions™ with the introduction of our C192 Series Keyless Locking Assembly. The C192 Series is designed as a drop-in functional replacement for Fenner® Trantorque® GT Series keyless bushings. The non-traversing design provides a high-capacity mechanical interference fit, installs using lower installation torque than the […]
What materials are used in manufacturing Climax rigid couplings?
Leave a CommentSteel Couplings are the most commonly used and manufactured. The exact type of steel used varies depending on the machine process but generally low-carbon steel is used, including materials such as 1215, 1045, and 1026. Stainless Steel Couplings are used primarily in applications
What finishes does Climax offer on rigid couplings?
Leave a CommentBlack oxide finish on our steel couplings is formulated as part of the total performance of the coupling. The black oxide affects the anti-stick-slip characteristics and helps keep the torque rating of the screw within its design parameters. The black oxide has corrosion resistant properties for indoor environmental applications. However, black oxide
