Precision couplings

06 January 2015

Tsubakimoto Chain has developed a series of precision couplings that it says is capable of delivering reliable torque transmission with improved torsional stiffness.

 

Development of the Echt-Flex series has involved finite element analysis to produce a zero backlash coupling capable of an extended service life. The series incorporates a variety of designs including long spacer types, which can be dynamically balanced by Tsubaki for applications which require high rotational speeds.

The NES range provides small, precision couplings designed for high torsional stiffness and a low moment of inertia. These make suitable connection components for servo motors and stepper motors used in industrial robots and precision equipment.

The NEF range is based on a spacer type coupling comprising two sets of disk kits which enables the coupling to accommodate shaft misalignment. The range can be specified with a variety of shaft connection types.

For larger applications, the NEH range is designed as a spacer type coupling capable of handling up to 176,400 Nm. This range can be specified with an adapter hub type coupling or with a unit spacer type coupling.
