How do speed and inertia affect beam couplings?
Edited by Mike Santora
Beam coupling failure most often occurs when maximum speed is exceeded. Making a balanced design all the more important at higher RPM.
In certain situations, such as a printing application, for example, there might be an issue with banding. Vibration in the system can be caused by the coupling, causing the printer to band and creating errors in the printing. It's important to note that not all couplings are balanced. There are couplings out there that do not have a balanced design. Again, printing is one of the applications that you can get into trouble just because you haven't used the balanced design.
