GAM: Quick Reference — servo couplings, bellows vs elastomer

November 28, 2023 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

GAM bellows coupling

Elastomer? Bellows? What is the best coupling technology for your motion control application? Each has its advantages from torsional stiffness to vibration dampening. A quick comparison of features and advantages can point to the best solution. Servo Coupling Design There are two basic types of servo couplings: bellows and elastomer. Both provide zero backlash, low […]

Update on flexible-coupling considerations for OEM and plant designs

September 5, 2017 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

06-R W-bellows-coupling-for-motion-app

All couplings transmit torque and angular velocity. Flexible variations compensate for misalignment. Many of the latter even address vibration and improve system dynamics. Design considerations include machine or installation construction and backlash, torsional stiffness, damping, inertia, torque ratings, maximum rpm, size, misalignments, ease of installation, robustness, and cost. For power transmission (as in motors for […]

Spindle safety system

December 9, 2016 By Mike Santora Leave a Comment

GAM-spindle-exploded-image

Despite current CNC machine tool crash protection strategies which include both proactive avoidance through CAD/CAM programming and reactive damage reduction methods that include electronic sensors and mechanical overload clutches, machine tool crashes are still commonplace. In these machine tool crashes, tool collisions with high feed rates cause high forces on motor spindles. Depending on the […]
