Compact Safety Coupling
 |
Making use of the existing EKL line of compact elastomer couplings, the all new SLE safety coupling offers a compact, flexible and vibration damping option with integral torque overload release. Designed for aggressive servo driven applications, the SLE is completely backlash free, relying on preloads and frictional connections, along with a precision molded, wear resistant, polyurethane insert to damp vibration and relieve bearing loads resulting from misalignment. |

Flex Element Designed Into Zero-Max CD® Couplings Provides Electrical Insulation While Protecting Mechanical Components From System Reaction Loads
 |
Motion system designers have a new option to arrest electrical current. Zero-Max CD® couplings are designed with composite flex elements that are nonconductive in addition to their primary function. According to Robert Mainz, Zero-Max sales manager, “We have had several engineers specify the CD couplings in systems that required the high performance CD coupling design because it did not pass electrical current through the coupling.” |

Compact Safety Coupling
 |
Making use of the existing BKC line of compact bellows couplings, the all new SL2 safety coupling offers a compact, flexible and torsionally rigid option with integral torque overload release. Designed for aggressive servo driven applications, the SL2 is completely backlash free, relying on preloads and frictional connections, along with a hydroformed stainless steel bellows to relieve bearing loads resulting from misalignment. |
Low Thermal Transfer Feature Of Zero-Max ServoClass® Couplings Helps Minimize System Misalignment
 |
Plymouth, Minnesota: Design engineers looking to reduce heat transfer from servo motors to driven shafts will find ServoClass® Couplings from Zero-Max an ideal solution. The ServoClass coupling design minimizes heat transfer and reduces variations in system accuracy caused by thermal expansion. The coupling features stainless steel discs designed into the center of the coupling that dissipate heat generated from a connected servo motor. By minimizing heat transmission to the connected shaft, thermal expansion is prevented. With today’s servo motor applications more demanding than ever, system accuracy is critical to precision positioning. |

 |
Call 1-800-533-1731 For FREE Brochure Plymouth, MN: Miniature Servo Class Couplings from Zero-Max are designed to The 16 mm diameter size Servo Class coupling has operating torque of 4.43 in-lb in both single (SD) and double disc (SC) models. They meet high performance demands where high torsional stiffness and low inertia is critical in the application. |
High Torque Elastomer Coupling from RW
 |
Taking steps to complete its offering of precision couplings, in 2010 R+W has begun manufacturing a new line of high torque elastomer insert couplings. The growing popularity of curved jaw (elastomer) style couplings for precision applications has driven the need for R+W to expand well beyond its traditional torque capacity of 2,150 Nm up to a maximum torque of 25,000 Nm. |
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 cases where the two shafts to be connected are mounted to different bearing surfaces, it can be difficult to maintain the precise alignment tolerances normally required. |
