Couplings

Zero-Max offers Couplings. These couplings feature zero backlash and even higher torsional stiffness required for servo motor applications with high reverse loads and precision positioning requirements. These are designed with SS 304 disc packs and 7075-T6 aluminium hubs and centre members. Their unique design provides high torsional stiffness with low inertia to avoid system resonance in all types of servo systems. These couplings handle system speeds up to 10,000 RPM and have a torque rating range from 4.43 in.lb (0.5 Nm) to 530 in.lb (60 Nm). A system designer can select from 16 sizes and from combinations of inch and metric hub bore sizes to meet exacting servo drive requirements. All models and sizes feature clamp style mounting hubs with recessed, corrosion-resistant clamping bolts. As the application cycle times become faster, the wind up in beam couplings or the fragile nature of the bellows couplings become more of a serious problem. The robust design of the coupling performs reliably in precision, high-speed servo applications. These are ideal for use in most high-precision applications including packaging machines, pick and place systems, printing machinery, machine tools and most systems utilising servomotors.
