Coupling

Elastic Coupling is a device used for the longitudinal joining of two rotating parts of a machine , designed to compensate for the relative displacement of the parts' axes and to absorb the shocks caused by joining the parts.

Shaft Adapters are designed to modify, extend or repair an existing shaft and provide a fully machineable male output shaft with minimum effort and expense. Standard keyways provide added torque capacity and fixed shaft phasing.

Shaft misalignment can limit the performance of machines, cause excessive wear, and often lead to premature failure. Flexible shaft couplings can help prevent these issues by transmitting torque while also accommodating for parallel, axial, and angular misalignment between drive components.

Couplings do not normally allow disconnection of shafts during operation, however there are torque limiting couplings which can slip or disconnect when some torque limit is exceeded.

This rigid one-piece motor coupling version is clamped on the shafts with the included two M3 hex key bolts with hex key size 2.5mm. Suitable for 8mm to 8mm shafts.

Used in applications where high power and torque have to be transmitted in machinery with shock and vibration loads where shaft misalignment is evident.
