GAM, a manufacturer of precision gear reducers, couplings, and linear mounting kits, has introduced the EDC Elastomer Drive Shaft Coupling product line. The EDC is the latest addition to GAM’s family of zero backlash drive shaft couplings. Offered in four sizes with torque ratings up to 110Nm, the EDC is available in standard lengths up […]

Step-Flex couplings reduce resonance in stepper motor ball screw assemblies
Mechanical resonance in motion systems can cause, not only unpleasant noise, but can lead to oscillations in the machine that reduce the positional accuracy of the system. This oscillation can also cause the system to take too long to find its correct positioning and further degrade performance. In rare cases where extreme oscillation is present, […]
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 […]
Elastomer couplings with higher torque handling capacity
The growing popularity of curved jaw (elastomer) style couplings for precision applications has driven the need for couplings that handle more than the traditional torque capacity of 2,150 Nm up to a maximum torque of 25,000 Nm. Available with split clamping collars or keyway and set screw connections, the three new body sizes allow for […]
Expanded Line of Servo Insert Couplings
The SERVOMAX line of precision elastomer insert couplings from R+W has been expanded to include both smaller and larger sizes as well as enhanced mounting options. The R+W SERVOMAX utilizes secondary heat treatment of the injection molded polyurethane insert to smooth out inconsistencies in the driving surfaces, allowing for a smooth fit and higher repeatability.
