A new series of the CD® Coupling – Series A1C high performance CD® couplings features high torsional stiffness and high dynamic load capacity. These couplings provide precise positioning under high speed reversing loads without fatigue for reliable 24/7 operation. In addition, they are excellent for reversing loads and provide smooth operation at high speeds. The […]
Couplings for higher speed applications
ServoClass Couplings feature high torsional stiffness, zero backlash and low hysteresis to ensure repeatable precise positioning at speeds up to 10,000 rpm. Their robust design ensures precise system operation in automated 24/7 applications. That is especially true where stresses occur at increased speeds in a servo system. Designed with 304 stainless steel disc packs and […]
Oldham/Universal Couplings handle large amounts of torque
The OEP type UA Oldham/Universal coupling differs from other versions of the Oldham/Universal coupling (UC and UI) in that its midsection is machined from metal bar, the same alloy as the hubs. The UA is a strong, stiff, robust coupling, and can easily be configured for larger or non-standard sizes. A Delrin© (or higher temperature […]
Torsiflex-i couplings meet API 610 service needs
If you are looking for a cold-install hub that provides the secure torque transmission and balance repeatability of an interference fit, check out the Torsiflex-i flexible disc couplings. Developed for API 610 service, these couplings feature a robust disc pack design, allowing for greater torque load in a smaller, lower weight size. Max bores matched […]
Shaft locking devices for rigid shaft connections with high alignment accuracy
Ameriloc internal and external locking devices and shaft couplings are custom-engineered, manufactured, and tested to precise tolerances to meet specific customer requirements and provide years of trouble-free service. Quality materials and state-of-the-art manufacturing processes ensure high reliability. Units eliminate the need for keyways, splines, or hydraulic hubs, allowing for unlimited shaft positioning. Installation and removal […]
Miniature couplings for medical applications
These miniature rigid couplings handle a variety of medical device applications, including test and measurement systems, imaging, patient positioning, and liquid handling such as chromatography. Rigid couplings are zero-backlash, torsionally stiff, and have high torque capacity. They should be used when shaft misalignment is neither present nor desired, with the rigid coupling often used to […]
Maintenance free couplings for heavy engineering
Extreme temperature ranges, high pollution levels, high vibration levels, and 24/7/365 operation call for engineered drive components which can take the abuse. Extending component maintenance intervals is a priority, since industrial gearboxes, electric motors, bearings, and drive shafts typically require at least partial disassembly and replacement of wear parts. A new solution involves zero maintenance, […]
Overload safety couplings also limit torque
Zero-Max Torq-Tender Overload Safety couplings protect critical rotating power transmission components from torque overloads. Torq-Tenders serve both as a safety device and as a coupling in a power transmission system. Torq-Tenders can be manufactured for systems requiring frequent washdowns such as food manufacturing and packaging applications. With the addition of an O-ring seal and simple […]
Compact safety coupling
Making use of the existing EKL line of compact elastomer couplings, the SLE safety coupling offers a compact, flexible and vibration damping option with integral torque overload release. Designed for aggressive servo driven applications, the SLE is backlash free, relying on preloads and frictional connections, along with a precision molded, wear resistant, polyurethane insert to […]
Compact stainless steel bellows couplings
The BKS series of stainless steel, welded bellows couplings are up to 1/3 shorter in length, reducing moment of inertia and saving space. Manufactured in Germany, the BKS makes use of 1.4301 (304) stainless steel hubs, precision machined to a high level of concentricity. Laser welded while mounted onto a common shaft to guarantee straightness, […]
