Reli-a-Flex Shaft Couplings offers long life, low kinematic error

August 28, 2012 By Stacy Combest Leave a Comment

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 […]

How to size and select bellows couplings for motion applications

August 24, 2012 By Miles Budimir 1 Comment

bellows-coupling

Electrodeposited bellows couplings are commonly used in motion-control applications requiring precision but also having shaft misalignment. If your application fits this description, it’s key to understand the parameters that dictate the optimum bellows coupling for a given axis. Here are a few of the key considerations for selecting a bellows coupling. 1. Torque Determine the […]

What are Flexible Couplings? Summary for Motion Engineers

October 7, 2011 By Motion Control Tips Editor Leave a Comment

Couplings join together two shafts as a way of transmitting power from one to the other. It is part of the drivetrain which may include other power transmission components such as lead screws or ball screws, gearboxes, belts and pulleys or chains. There are two fundamental types of couplings; rigid and flexible. Rigid couplings are […]

What are bellows couplings? Technical summary for design engineers

October 6, 2011 By Motion Control Tips Editor Leave a Comment

Bellows couplings are one form of flexible coupling with twin coupling ends called hubs capping a precision-engineered corrugated tube that serves as the coupling body. Bellows couplings are known for their exceptional torsional rigidity to accurately transmit velocity, angular position, and torque. Their slight flexibility (at the corrugated bellows) serves to address limited amounts of […]
