FLEXURE FACTS

Solved Application Story #65

COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL


THE CHALLENGE

A manufacturer of plotter/cutter equipment, used to make posters, came to us requiring a U-joint with zero backlash capable of compensating for .200 inches of axial travel. In the assembly of their system there was also the need to compensate for angular and parallel misalignments.  


THE SOLUTION

After discussing the application with the representative, Helical's application engineer proposed a solution. A sketch was then forwarded to the customer for review. Upon approval, a sample was produced and sent to the representative to hand deliver. The test and evaluation lasted for approximately eight weeks. A full production order was placed two months from the time of inception. This shows the importance of cooperation and communication between the customer's engineer, Helical's representative and application engineer in providing the appropriate HELI-CAL® Flexure.    


THE ANSWER

HELI-CAL Flexured U-Joint # 9584
