Reduce your fastener assembly costs by designing in a Retaining Ring. Consider replacing costly traditional fasteners with retaining rings and enjoy savings you didn’t know were possible. Retaining Rings can also handle many “Non-Traditional” fastener requirements for even greater savings. Retaining ring can be utilized to act as a spring or as a preload on parts to reduce chatter or vibration. Before you designate a retaining ring for your application, follow our simple design consideration steps.

Tensioning elongation is the term for belt stretch due to the additional force applied to the belt when properly tensioned. This technical paper outlines the necessary steps to calculate the slot length for an adjustable tail pulley based on the tensioning elongation. This is valuable information for anyone designing a drive with tensioning clamps, tensioners and idlers.

With pallet-handling conveyors you can streamline and optimize your manufacturing, assembly and testing processes. Your product rides on a workpiece pallet, which allows for a stable conveying platform. Additionally, the pallet and product, can be stopped on the conveyor while any variety of tasks are performed – this allows you to streamline and optimize. Read our whitepaper to learn more.
