Product Details

A Flexible Coupling can also be known as elastic couplings. These couplings tend to have an elastic section between the ends of the coupling. A Flexible Coupling is unique in construction made specific to applications. A Flexible Coupling is designed to transmit torque while allowing radial, axial, and angular misalignment. A Flexible Coupling can compensate for angular misalignment up to a few degrees and some parallel misalignment. Flexible Coupling Facts A flexible coupling can protect machinery from wear and premature breakdown. A flexible coupling can play a large role in extending the life of a components attached to the coupling and at the same time, not degrading the performance of the machine. A proper flexible coupling fitting is sometimes overlooked but can be critical to machine design quality. How Does a Coupling Work? - Theory and Dimensioning Importance of High-Precision Couplings Not only are couplings and line shafts required to transmit torque from driving to driven elements but they must also compensate for misalignment between two shafts. Precision couplings ensure a backlash and maintenance free transmission of torque throughout their operations unlike standard couplings. This precision coupling is so precise because of the tight tolerances and dimensional accuracy measured in hundredths of a millimeter of the individual precision coupling components. Despite the large variety, precision couplings can be divided into two main groups: torsionally rigid couplings and vibration damping couplings. The torsionally rigid couplings are often used in the X-Y axis of machine tools whereas vibration damping couplings are mainly used in spindle motors or conveyor units.   Torsional Rigidity describes the rigidity of a coupling when it is subjected to a torsional load. If the torque is to high and the maximum torsional value of the coupling is exceeded, the coupling will no longer be strong enough to transmit the acting rotational force, the unit "torsional rigidity" (Nm/rad) reflects this relation. Each coupling has a permissible angle of twist with most rigid couplings having a maximum angle of twist of less than 0.05 degrees, and vibration damping coupling having a maximum angle of twist of less than 5 degrees. If the admissible angle of twist is not exceeded, the coupling will have an infinite life.   Spring Stiffness The spring stiffness is the counterforce exerted by the coupling in case of differentiated position of the axes in an axial, radial, and lateral direction. The spring stiffness is measured in units of N/mm. If, according to the manufacturer, the axial spring stiffness of the coupling is 30 N in the case of an axial displacement of 1 mm. These additional forces should always be taken into account when selecting bearings or other drive system components. Imbalance The imbalance of a drive system should be as low as possible in order for it to run smoothly. Imbalance is caused by asymmetries in the drive system, mass is therefore distributed unevenly. This leads to disproportionate centrifugal forces which act upon the entire drive system and impair its ability to run smoothly. This can be rectified by "balancing bores", which are normally drilled directly into the location of the disproportionately high concentration of mass. In drive technology, there are balance quality grades which describe a maximum residual imbalance. The most commonly used grades are Q 16, Q 6.3, Q 2.5 the lower numbers indicate a higher imbalance quality.
