The flexible misalignment coupling is used to connect the drive from the gearbox to a lead screw and had to be able to resist any current leakage.
It is ideal for a variety of precision motion applications that require torsional stiffness and zero backlash, but had to be manufactured from a non-standard material to prevent current leakage across the drive.
To achieve the required high resistance, Huco Dynatork selected Victrex Peek.
This polymer offers high mechanical strength in high temperatures, and good chemical resistance and electrical insulation properties.
