A customer had problems with a wire feeding unit in a
stapling machine. The stapler is used to fasten magazine pages together. The unit was made
up of a flexible spring coupling welded onto a shaft with a gear attached. The entire
machine is made in Italy.
The customer didn't know the tolerances for any dimensions, torque or the torsional
stiffness rating. A unit that is currently being used by the customer was supplied to
Helical. From that, a "guesstimate" was made and Helical was able to provide a
best effort paid sample.
This is an illustration of being able to retrofit a part. When the end user proves it is functional, then the machine manufacturer can be contacted with the idea of Helical furnishing the complete part to them. Note, there are two bearing surfaces, a gear and a HELI-CAL® Flexure with a tapered bore on the A2 end. Helical's Application Engineer was able to put it all into a single piece of 17-4pH stainless steel.
