Product ReleaseZero-Max Offers Stainless Steel CD® Couplings That Are Ideal For Corrosive Environments and Washdown Applications Zero-Max CD® couplings in single flex stainless steel models are ideal for use in systems where frequent washdowns are required or harsh environments could corrode the coupling components.Made of 300 series stainless in sizes 30 to 52, these new stainless steel CD couplings are ideal for food, dairy and clean room applications. Designed with stainless steel clamp style or keyway style hubs, these couplings feature the unique, patented composite disc design of the original CD coupling, which has become a world-wide favorite of designers faced with system backlash and misalignment issues. Through the disc’s open arm design made of rugged composite material, the stainless steel CD coupling reacts to coupling forces with high torsional stiffness, and with ability to lessen reaction loads and to absorb and dampen shock and vibration. By combining the best features found in both steel disc and elastomeric couplings, the CD coupling provides higher misalignment and greater torque capacity with more flexibility and torsional stiffness. These new single flex stainless steel CD couplings are available with standard delivery in outside diameters of 3 inch (76.2 mm), 3.75 inch (95.3 mm), 4.50 inch (114 mm) and 5.25 inch (133 mm) with hubs of either clamp style or keyway style. Bore sizes are available in inch, millimeter, or combinations of each. Other sizes are available upon request but with additional delivery time. Interested in more information?

Zero-Max CD® Couplings Provide High Torque Capability While Handling High Reverse Loads In Merritt PMI Sliced Hardwood Veneer Production System New model high speed veneer slicers from Merritt Plywood Machinery, Inc. produce up to 90 sheets per minute of high quality wood veneer in sheet sizes up to 4 meters long x 900 mm wide x 0.5 mm thick. These systems are operated two to three shifts per 24 hour day with virtually no downtime for maintenance due largely to their robust design which incorporates the latest servo drive technology.
Merritt PMI, Inc. of Lockport, New York designed its new MS-40 vertical veneer slicer with a patented vacuum flitch (wood log) loading mechanism which is fully integrated into the machine. The design provides faster flitch loading and thinner backing boards resulting in higher veneer yield. To achieve the 90 sheet per minute output, the servo drive turns at 2400 rpm with intermittent clockwise and counter-clockwise cycle of .6 sec/5 min. The design challenges for the servo system - precision positioning and slicing, high reverse loads and continuous operation - require use of Zero-Max CD® couplings which absorb the high torque loads and reciprocating motion.
