Angular spectrum methods constitute a powerful framework for simulating wave propagation and diffraction phenomena in optical systems. By decomposing a complex wavefield into its constituent plane ...

V-belt drive misalignment exists when the driver and driven sheaves are not properly aligned. Misalignment can take either the form of angular or parallel (offset) misalignment, or a combination of ...

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 ...

Maintaining alignment requires regular monitoring, and SKF’s TKSA laser-guided shaft alignment systems are designed for novices as well as experienced users, with built-in procedures that cover ...

Perhaps a hundred different types of couplings can join rotating drives when there is just a small misalignment between shafts (3°). But designs with misalignments approaching 10° or more leave just ...
