Product description
A flexible shaft coupling connects two shafts that are not perfectly aligned and transfers the motor’s torque to the driven shaft. The elastomer element inside compensates for angular and axial misalignment between the shafts without requiring rigid guides.
The coupling is slid onto both shafts and secured with grub screws. The flexible material between the two hubs enables torque transmission while also filtering vibrations and torsional oscillations from the drive. This reduces the load on downstream components such as bearings or gears.
The coupling is used wherever the motor and machine are not perfectly aligned or where vibrations need to be reduced. Typical applications include model-building projects with geared motors, workshop machinery, or robotic systems where drive shafts need to be coupled.
The bore diameters are available in several sizes to fit different motor shafts and output shafts. The diameters of both shafts must be known when selecting the coupling. Excessive misalignment or eccentricity reduces its service life.
Safety notice
The coupling may only be installed in systems where the maximum speed and the elastomer’s transmittable torque are not exceeded. The coupling rotates during operation, so protective measures against injury are required. If you are unsure about the correct design or installation, consult a qualified specialist before commissioning.
