Atra-Flex®: Flexible couplings that drive reliability

21 January 2026

English (United Kingdom)

Flexible couplings play a key role in industrial drive systems. They connect motors, gearboxes and pumps, transmitting power while absorbing vibration and compensating for misalignment. When correctly specified, a coupling protects machinery from damage, reduces maintenance and supports long-term reliability. When poorly matched, however, it can instead increase wear, generate vibration and cause costly downtime.

Incremental or absolute? Encoder selection discussed

13 January 2026

English (United Kingdom)

Across motion control applications, encoders are a common choice to provide feedback over position, direction, and speed. A key aspect of their specification is the selection of an incremental or an absolute encoder type. This decision directly affects system performance, determining whether the controller can rely on relative motion tracking, or if immediate knowledge of absolute position is required.
