Application-specific solutions for indirect drives
Indirect drives are characterized by the fact that the entire drive train is not located on a common axis. The drive shaft is offset parallel to the output shaft. The torque is transmitted via belts, gears or chains, depending on the requirements and magnitude of the torque, and is not used to compensate for misalignment, but to transmit torque without backlash or maintenance.
Enemac offers a wide range of application-specific safety couplings to safeguard indirect drives. Not only the mounting situation, but also the type of clamping on the output shaft is decisive when selecting the coupling. For example, the ECA, ECB and ECK types are fixed to the shaft by means of conical clamping.
If, on the other hand, a keyway is preferred for fastening, the standard variants ECE, ECG, ECI or ECU can be considered. Enemac also offers two special versions for special applications: ECH (with integrated sprocket) and ECR (made entirely of stainless steel). If the customer requires a clamping hub as a fastening solution, the designer can fall back on the ECP or ECOL types.
