Available in 10 sizes, SFM couplings transmit torque by connecting two shafts while damping system vibrations and accommodating […]
Zero backlash in Miki Pulley CSZ electromagnetic clutches
Miki Pulley’s CSZ Electromagnetic Clutches have a zero backlash design. They provide an efficient connection between a motor and a load with low inertia, minimal drag and zero backlash. Miki Pulley CSZ Clutches function utilizing the magnetic force generated by the energized coil providing engagement of input and output members of the clutch. They feature […]
Magnetic couplings from Miki Pulley
Miki Pulley’s Magnetic Couplings transmit torque from one shaft to another using a magnetic field rather than a mechanical connection. These Magnetic Couplings are another new class of power transmission solutions from Miki Pulley. The coupling design incorporates rare earth neodymium magnets in the assembly to transmit torque. This model simply transmits torque by pairing […]
Step-Flex couplings from Miki Pulley improve ball screw performance
Miki Pulley’s Step-Flex Couplings improve ball screw performance while solving resonance and vibration problems. The Step-Flex is an altogether new class of shaft coupling. The Step-Flex coupling design has a two-part elastomer element combination. This assembly dampens vibration caused by the actuator carrier when struggling to find its home position by making small adjustments in […]
Couplings tips for specific installation requirements
Coupling variations complement specific machine dynamics and meet specific application criteria. Rigid coupling designs handle drive components already in alignment and flexible couplings compensate for post-installation misalignments. Misalignment potential, temperature, mechanical resonance and other factors make some couplings better suited for given applications. Here are some different coupling types and their most common applications. Rigid […]
High speed couplings for machine tool spindle applications
High speed Miki Pulley SFD Couplings are rigid, metal disc couplings featuring zero backlash and high torsional stiffness with high concentricity for precise shaft alignment in demanding machine tool spindle applications. Handling system speeds up to 20,000 RPM, they maintain concentricity within .001 TIR. The SFD couplings feature self-centering, single bolt clamping at both coupling […]
High-damping couplings
Miki Pulley’s newly developed laminated rubber element achieves high damping and low reaction force. STEPFLEX couplings for servo stepping motors that boast high damping performance. Their unitized construction with HNBR in the power-transmitting elements provides a backlash-free design. They dampen vibration faster than flexible couplings that use metal in their elastic components. This suppresses the […]
CPU pin type bushing couplings to hit US market
Miki Pulley is introducing its CPU Pin Type couplings for direct sale to OEM’s in North America. These CPU couplings are used for effective system vibration dampening. Designed using a simple pin and bushing connection that minimizes vibration, CPU couplings handle angular misalignment of 4° and parallel misalignment of 0.5 mm. The coupling design maintains […]
