Reli-a-Flex Shaft Couplings offers long life, low kinematic error
Reliance Mechatronics launched a flexible shaft coupling that offers high torsional stiffness, low bearing load, long service life and low kinematic error. The Reli-a-Flex coupling achieves high torsional stiffness by placing the beams radially around the coupling. Unlike other coupling with spiral pattern beams, the radial beams support the drive loads in compression. The center […]
