CD couplings from Zero-Max are said to address the challenges of the latest servomotor driven designs with precision positioning under high reverse loads and reliable 24/7 operation. In addition, CD couplings provide excellent chemical and moisture resistance in hostile operating environments that prove difficult or impossible for elastomeric or steel disc couplings.
“Composite Disc (CD®) 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.
