The aluminum CD® model is a low inertia, lightweight coupling with high torsional stiffness for servo motor applications. It is available in single and double flex versions. “We surveyed design engineers to find out what was the most desirable feature when specifying couplings for servo motor applications,” reports Robert Mainz, Zero-Max sales manager. “Low inertia […]
Servo
High Misalignment, Low Inertia Servo Couplings
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 […]
How to Properly Choose Servo Couplings
R+W Coupling Technology recently proposed a system on how to properly select your servo couplings. They state that servo systems require mechanical components with high torsional stiffness in order to perform properly in applications requiring rapid acceleration and deceleration of high inertia loads. Flexible couplings usually have the lowest torsional stiffness of any component in […]
High Torque Servo Couplings
Heavy duty torque ratings and high strength conical clamping hubs make BK3 couplings the choice for high torque servo gearboxes. Manufactured with a double-walled stainless steel bellows to absorb parallel, angular and axial shaft misalignment, the BK3 has an extremely high torsional stiffness to complement its relatively very low moment of inertia – allowing it […]
Hydraulic Pumps Benefit From Zero-Max CD® Couplings
Plymouth, Minnesota: New CD Couplings® from Zero-Max are an ideal choice for use with fixed displacement hydraulic pumps driven by servo motors. CD Couplings provide the ideal combination of high dynamic load capacity and high torsional stiffness to ensure reliable system operation. “This new pump drive technology has become increasingly popular because of dramatic improvements […]
For the Best Load Control Look to Bellows Couplings
Properly selected bellows couplings result in the best control over the load in any servo application. Here are tips to ensure you choose the right size for the application. Bellows couplings help maintain tight controls over loads. For years, bellows couplings have been a mainstay for efficient motion systems because they offer high torsional stiffness, […]
