Shaft design veteran Alex Dee co-founded Aretera with a straightforward but subversive thesis: Stability and stiffness aren't the same. The post The story behind Aretera’s first-of-its-kind shaft ...

Carbon-fiber drive shafts have graced racing cars for years, reducing weight and eliminating vibrations. But concerns about crash performance and costs have, with a few exceptions, kept them out of ...

Precision line shafts transmit torque across longer distances while maintaining mechanical synchronization. Here we review their basics, as well as speed considerations. Line shafts span long ...

Conventional pump mechanical seals, lip/contact seals, and packing as sealing methods work well when you’re pumping clean liquids, but operators eventually find shaft fretting and wear on the sleeves ...

VULKAN Couplings recently introduced a unique combination of the proven RATO DS coupling with a directly connected Composite shaft. The high radial stiffness and the comparably low axial and bending ...

Because shafts provide the inner raceways for all linear bearings, theirs is often lumped into bearing design as an afterthought. But bearing raceway sections on shafts are very critical because some ...
