Control-Flex couplings from Zero-Max are designed for encoder applications. Control-Flex couplings help minimize a system’s reaction forces for more precise and repeatable operation and longer life. Designed with a parallel linkage-style flexible disc, Control-Flex provides radial flexibility to reduce reaction forces such as side loads on shaft bearings and seals that can be caused by shaft […]

Servoclass couplings feature fail safe clamping hubs
ServoClass couplings from Zero-Max feature fail safe clamping hubs that provide maximum torque transmission in high speed applications. Without the use of keyways, ServoClass couplings are designed, manufactured and tested to provide shaft engagement in servo motor applications at speeds up to 10,000 rpm. ServoClass design features include precise 304 stainless steel disc members. These […]
Compact servo couplings provide backlash-free torque transmission
The ROBA-DS servo couplings with split clamping hubs allow easy and fast installation, even in difficult ambient conditions. They are suitable for large shaft distances and in all applications, in which the drive aggregates must not be moved any more. These couplings are made of steel and high-strength aluminum alloys, which forms the basis for […]
Zero-Max Servo Class Couplings Available With Hub Taper Adapter Option
Zero-Max ServoClass® couplings are now available with hub taper adapters for use on servo motors with tapered shafts. Precision machined, these ServoClass coupling hub adapters are designed to provide superior shaft engagement on tapered shafts in high speed applications. Manufactured with high quality materials, the hub adapters fit precisely in the coupling’s clamp style hubs […]
Zero-Max Introduces Double Flex A1C High Performance CD Couplings
Zero-Max’s Double Flex A1C high performance CD couplings provide higher misalignment capacity than the Single Flex model. They have wider shaft spacing and improved clamping system, making them ideal for today’s most demanding servo motor and motion control applications. The Double Flex CD A1C coupling provides precise positioning under high speed reversing loads without fatigue […]
Robust jaw couplings make for easy water testing
Testing water samples is an important and critical business, so when Hach Co., Loveland, Colo.—a provider of water quality testing and water quality analysis—was designing one of its signature samplers, it wanted a design that was maintenance free and wouldn’t cause any problems. That’s why Hach turned to R+W America, as it worked on the […]
Couplings make the big-time
Who knew that something so small could make such a big difference in complex applications? We did, that’s who. Couplings—from bellows to jaw and Oldham to disc—are used in almost every motion control application to manage misalignment while transmitting torque from one shaft to another. They are often considered a commodity product but are too […]
GAM Gear offers two-week delivery for gear reducers
GAM Gear announces a new two-week standard delivery program for the PE series of inline planetary gear reducers. The PE series has precision gears and robust dual output bearings making it a great option for most servo and stepper motor applications where performance and durability are required. The delivery program covers popular ratios from the […]
Zero-Max Releases ServoClass® Couplings Brochure
Zero-Max’s new brochure featuring their ServoClass® couplings introduces new Single and Double Disc coupling sizes, giving designers even more options when planning their systems. The expanded ServoClass coupling product line also features improved clamp style hubs for handling larger shafts and higher torque. ServoClass high performance couplings are designed to meet precision positioning requirements and […]
