For a coupling in a servo application to work properly, you need to satisfy a number of application factors including: torque, shaft misalignment, stiffness, speed, and space requirements. Here’s a look at the available types of servo couplings and what you need to consider for each of them during the selection process. Beam couplings Beam […]

For the Best Load Control Look to Bellows Couplings
Properly selected bellows couplings result in the best control over the load in any servo application. Here are tips to ensure you choose the right size for the application. Bellows couplings help maintain tight controls over loads. For years, bellows couplings have been a mainstay for efficient motion systems because they offer high torsional stiffness, […]

TOOLFLEX Metal Bellow-Type Coupling
Compact coupling design is required more frequently by customers in order to realize high performance with a narrow mounting space. In order to meet these requirements, KTR’s backlash-free ROTEX GS jaw-type coupling has already been added to their product range as a compact design. Now the range of the torsionally stiff TOOLFLEX metal bellow-type coupling […]
