“Composite Disc (CD√ǬÆ) couplings from Zero-Max have proven themselves in countless applications that require both high reverse loads and high speeds,” said Robert Mainz, sales manager at Zero-Max. “The working part of these couplings is made from a composite material designed to withstand any punishment a servomotor can dish out.”
The couplings provide a combination of high torsional stiffness and high dynamic load capacity providing engineers with the right combination to make their designs run faster while maintaining accuracy.
In comparison, the company says, bellows style couplings have high torsional stiffness specifications but are too brittle to withstand punishing high speed operation. Beam style couplings have low torsional stiffness specifications which limit machine speed and accuracy.
CD couplings are available in many sizes for most servo motor packaging applications.
