Controlflex was designed especially for the requirements of shaft encoders. The "industry"  design is ideal for shaft encoders with larger shaft sizes, providing balanced and vibration dampening properties.

A solid compression-type coupling or rigid coupling as it is sometimes termed has no flexibility but can effectively be used to connect two shafts to make a permanent joint. The solid coupling is usually designed to be capable of transmitting the full torque load capacity of the shaft.

A very warm welcome is extended to all those visitors to the Engineering Design show at the Ricoh Centre Coventry today. Abssac is situated in the middle of the Hall on Stand E35 where we are showing all of our innovative linear and rotary products. We look forward to meeting you in person over the next few days.

The name TB Wood’s http://www.abssac.co.uk/p/Shaft+Couplings/SureFlex+Shaft+Coupling/34/ couplings utilises a rubber (EPDM), Neoprene, or Hytrel sleeve between two cast hubs. The flexible element allows 4-way flexing action and absorbs virtually all types of shock, misalignment, and end float.

At Abssac, we offer one of the UK’s largest selections of linear product ranges and you might say, what’s special about that? A customer wanted to move a prism in small increments. Many products offer accuracy grades in microns and that has become the norm.  But, how about increments measured in Nano’s?

Using an existing damaged screw for dimensional information, Abssac replicated 14 screws which were a massive 90mm diameter by 2 metres long. Weighing over 100kg each and using a basic trapezoidal thread form satisfied another Abssac customer.
