Silicone Insert Couplings from Sterling Instrument

New Hyde Park, NY — A new series of silicone insert couplings from Sterling Instrument (ISO 9001:2000+AS9100B Registered Manufacturer) features electrical isolation and no backlash. These metric couplings, identified as the S54HSAM… (clamp type) and S5PSAM… (set screw type) Series are stocked in 5 different bore sizes ranging from (6 mm to 16 mm).

These couplings have aluminum hubs with either set screws or clamps for fastening to shafts. The insert is silicone 40 ShA. Operating temperature ranges from -50°C to +150°C. They range in length from 26.5 mm to 57 mm. Their maximum speed is 5000 rpm.

They can be used in various applications and are especially able to accommodate tight or skewed connections. Quotes, online orders, available stock, and 3D CAD Model downloads are available at our new eStore at: www.sdp-si.com/eStore. SDP/SI offers over 1000 different types of couplings including inch and metric: magnetic, flexible, rigid, oldham, bellows, flexible shaft, spider type, Fairloc® shaft type, helical, slit-type, and neoprene flexible type couplings.

Slit Type Plastic Couplings

New Hyde Park, NY — A new series of slit type plastic couplings from Sterling Instrument (ISO 9001:2000+AS9100B Registered Manufacturer) features low cost, UV resistance, voltage and RF isolation. These couplings, identified as the S50TLC… Inch Series are stocked in sizes 13, 19 and 25. This lightweight molded patented coupling can replace stainless/aluminum slit type couplings with low cost and improved operation. There is no windup or backlash or any derating for reversing applications. To insure a tight fit between the shaft and the coupling, a metal screw-to-metal nut design is used and does not utilize threads cut into the molded piece.

These couplings are made of engineered polymer and have stainless steel fasteners. Their bore sizes range from .125″ to .500″ (from 3 mm to 12 mm). They range in length from .710″ to 1.400″ (18 mm to 36 mm). Their maximum temperature range is -4°F to +284°F (-20°C to+140°C).

They can be used in various applications and are especially able to accommodate tight or skewed conections. Quotes, online orders, available stock, and 3D CAD Model downloads are available at our new eStore at: www.sdp-si.com/eStore. SDP/SI offers over 1000 different types of couplings including inch and metric: magnetic, flexible, rigid, oldham, bellows, flexible shaft, spider type, Fairloc® shaft type, helical, slit type, and neoprene flexible type couplings.

Inch & Metric Magnetic Disk Couplings

New Hyde Park, NY – A new series of magnetic disk couplings from Sterling Instrument (ISO 9001:2000+AS9100B Registered Manufacturer) features no friction or wearing parts, uses no electricity and no magnetic particles to leak. These units, identified as the S50DCM… (inch) and S50DCMM… (metric) Series are stocked in 8 different bore sizes ranging from .1875″ to 1.000″ (5 mm to19 mm).The couplings consist of two opposing disk halves with powerful rare earth magnets. The torque applied to one disk is transferred through an air gap to the other disk. Because of its simple flat design, one can have angular misalignment of up to 3^o or parallel misalignment of up to 1/4″ and still transmit nearly full rotational torque.

These 416 Stainless steel couplings incorporate an NdFeB, nickel plated magnet. The hub sections are offered singularly and are offered with or without a keyway and are fastened to shafts with an included set screw. The coupling O.D. ranges from 1.72″to 2.86″ (43.7 mm to 73 mm).

Other features include being incredibly accurate, repeatable torque control, and easy to adjust, easy to apply, smooth with no friction since there is no physical contact between driving and driven parts.

Miniature Helical Couplings from Sterling Instrument

New Hyde Park, NY — A new series of miniature helical couplings from Sterling Instrument (ISO 9001:2000+AS9100B Registered Manufacturer) features zero backlash, maintenance free, vibration free, smooth bearing loads, even at misaligned 3^o angular, positions. These couplings, identified as the S54MHCM… Series are stocked in 30 different sizes ranging from 4 mm to 12 mm.

These 7075-T651 aluminum couplings range in O.D. from 19.1 mm to 31.8 mm and in length from 28 mm to 58 mm and have a maximum speed of 5000 rpm. They are extremely lightweight, ranging from approx. 22 grams to 60 grams.

They can be used in precision engineering applications and are especially able to accommodate tight or skewed connections. Quotes, online orders, available stock, and 3D CAD Model downloads are available at our new eStore at: www.sdp-si.com/eStore. SDP/SI offers over 1000 different coupling types including inch and metric: magnetic, flexible, rigid, oldham, bellows, flexible shaft, spider, Fairloc® shaft type, helical, slit-type, and neoprene flexible type couplings.
