Metal bellows couplings
For little space
Modern, innovative mechanical engineering is characterized by decreasing external dimensions with constant or increasing overall performance. Drive technology has also committed itself to this development and the required connecting elements are a link that should not be underestimated.
This means that the well-known strengths of the metal bellows coupling (compensation of shaft misalignment, high torsional rigidity, low moment of inertia, absolutely backlash-free, maintenance-free, temperature-resistant all-metal design) can be supplemented by the advantage of a very short overall length thanks to an expanding cone hub for integrated installation. The expanding cone is securely connected in an appropriately dimensioned axial bore in the shaft.
With the expanding cone hub on one side and a radial clamping hub on the other, the rotationally symmetrical, friction-locked connection and the installation-friendly handling are retained, but the installation length within the overall system is considerably reduced. This makes it ideal for applications with minimal shaft spacing and limited installation space.
The high torsional stiffness values of the metal bellows coupling in conjunction with its low moments of inertia make it particularly suitable for use in highly dynamic drives.
Overall, this coupling is a suitable link for sophisticated drive systems, for gearbox attachments, connection of encoders and spindle and axle drives.
