Articulated couplings
Transmit torques with offset
Articulated couplings are characterized by the fact that they compensate for very large radial and angular misalignments without significant restoring forces. They can therefore also be used in all cases where the expected shaft misalignment cannot be precisely estimated in advance.
KBK offers articulated couplings in three variants: The GK series with threaded connection for axial forces from 200 to 13,000 N and the GK-T and GK-TH series with clamping hubs, each for torques up to 580 Nm. The GK-TH series has split clamping hubs. All articulated couplings are available in aluminum and stainless steel. The internal pins are made of hardened steel. The articulated couplings can also be used as a compensating element in the event of misalignment. In addition to articulated couplings, KBK also manufactures safety couplings, metal bellows couplings, elastomer couplings, rigid shaft couplings and clamping sets.
