In some machines timing is everything. Candy Controls
offer several ways keep machines in time or fix up problems
caused by slipping. This month we will look at 2 of the
Candy Controls solutions. Both are designed to be used in
shaft to shaft or shaft to flange applications.
Candy Timing Hub
• Low cost timing device used to accurately advance or
retard rotating machine components.
• Unique design accommodates both in-line and concentric
mounting configurations.
• Reduce downtime during machine start-ups and
changeovers, while improving product quality.
|
The Candy Timing Hub is the low cost phase adjusting
coupling designed for precise rotary positioning.
While in motion, the Timing Hub operates as a rigid
shaft coupling. In the static position, it is
possible to relocate one of the Timing Hub's flanges
relative to the other, thus changing the rotary
position of the output element. |
 |
When both flanges are secured with the use of drive
bolts, the Timing Hub again operates as a rigid
shaft coupling.
The ability to advance and retard the position of
various machine components is too often accomplished
by friction-type clamping mechanisms. Such methods
often slip under moderate shock loads, resulting in
unnecessary and costly downtime. The Timing Hub
eliminates the need for such devices, offering the
most economical means of positive position control.

Candy Phasing Hub
•Static phase adjusting coupling
•Bi-Directional angular displacement
•Infinitely variable position correction
|
The Phasing Hub is a static phase adjusting
coupling designed for precise rotary
positioning. When in motion, the Phasing Hub
operates as a rigid 1:1 shaft coupling. Phase
change of the coupling and connected shafts is
accomplished with the drive stopped. |
 |
|
By manually turning the Adjusting Ring, the
Phasing Hub becomes a phase changing device
providing infinitely variable and stepless phase
correction in either direction.
Many machines and machine elements require
precise angular adjustment between operating
components. The need for this adjustment results
from rotational misalignment at set-up, material
deviation, wear and various other scenarios. The
Phasing Hub is a unique, cost effective solution
for such timing challenges. |
