Sliding Disc (Old Ham)

Sliding Disc (Old Ham)
General purpose, robust, easy to use 3-part couplings.

  • Replaceable wear elements
  • Generous radial compensation
  • Pull-apart / re-engage facility for blind assemblies

 

  Universal Lateral

Universal Lateral Unique, general purpose light duty couplings.

  • Generous angular and radial misalignment compensation
  • Resist axial motion
  • Able to anchor unrestricted shafts and perform light push/pull duties

Single Beam

Single Beam
Similar to multi-beam but has a single beam only.

  • Less torsional stiffness but greater radial and angular flexibility than corresponding multi- beam items


  Multi Beam

Multi Beam
General purpose single piece couplings.

  • Supplied in single stage (3-beam) or two stage (6- beam) versions.
  • Use with caution if low bearing loads are desirable.

Step Beam

Step Beam
Beam coupling with stepped radial slots.

  • High torsional stiffness of a straight beam coupling
  • Lateral flexibility of its helical counterpart

 

  Membrane

Membrane
Precision couplings with excellent kinematic properties.

  • Dynamically balanced construction.
  • Single stage versions make up into 'whirl' free cardans.
  • The two stage versions offer envelopes and low bearing loads respectively.

Stainless Steel Bellows

Stainless Steel Bellows
Precision couplings with excellent kinematic properties.

  • The 3 types offer differing combinations of stiffness, radial compensation and axial motion.

 

  Membrane

Electrodeposited Nickel Bellows
Manufactured by electrodeposition

  • Allows this coupling to provide exceptional integrity of angular position between inputs and output shafts.

Double-Loop Coupling

Double-loop
This is a highly flexible type of coupling.

  • Exceptional flexibility in all three modes but a resultant lower torsional stiffness

 

  Miniature Flexible Jaw

Miniature Flexible Jaw

  • High torque transmission
  • Little or no backlash even where there is significant angular and/ or parallel shaft misalignment
