What do you know about Bellows Couplings?

January 20, 2015 By Michael Jermann Leave a Comment

Ruland-bellows-couplings TH

A bellows coupling is a type of flexible coupling that features high torsional stiffness, low moment of inertia, and minimal restoring forces under misalignment. These characteristics make bellows couplings suitable for motion systems that require a high degree of accuracy, repeatability. Most bellows couplings use a stainless steel tube, which has been hydroformed to create […]

High Misalignment, Low Inertia Servo Couplings

January 25, 2010 By CouplingTipsAdmin Leave a Comment

The trend in industry to process more material, faster and more efficiently calls for a high torque, high misalignment, low inertia servo coupling, with minimal compromise to torsional stiffness. Stainless steel bellows couplings have the highest torsional stiffness of commercially available flexible couplings, making them the best choice for aggressive servo driven applications. But in […]
