Machine-vision and optical-inspection systems demand precise motion control, and this requires precision components. One often overlooked but important component is the zerobacklash coupling that ...
This is an example of a steel Oldham coupling. An Oldham coupling, named for the Irish engineer John Oldham (1779-1840) who invented it, consists of three discs, one coupled to the input of a ...
Couplings chosen with application requirements in mind last longer, improve precision, and protect other system components from premature failure. • Engineers should choose couplings that compensate ...
