Elastomer couplings
Elastic star
Elastomer couplings are plug-in, backlash-free and flexible shaft couplings. The connecting or compensating element consists of a plastic star with involute teeth and a high Shore hardness.
This flexible coupling star has an electrically insulating and vibration-damping effect. It is inserted into two high-precision hubs with claw-shaped cams with a positive fit and slight preload. Jakob Antriebstechnik in Kleinwallstadt has various elastomer coupling variants in its range, which can be assembled as required using a modular system. Special designs are also possible. The EKM coupling comes with a radial clamping hub on both sides as a compact standard series and covers torque ranges from eight to 2,000 Newton meters and shaft diameters from eight to 90 millimeters. pb
