| Some couplings are too stiff radially; they resist misalignment and thus overload bearings. Low Wind-Up and low Radial Loads are almost mutually exclusive, and always a compromise. The best compromise is found in flexible disc couplings - where rotational position is transmitted by means of tension in the discs. Whereas in a helical cut beam coupling the transmitting element is a cantilevered beam which cannot begin to have equivalent rigidity - and still provide radial flexibility. The graphs shown here, show clearly how much less wind-up there is in Renbrandt Couplings yet without excessive bearing load. How to order:Select clamp or set screw hub styles and bore sizes to fit your shafts from table on left (No charge for special bore sizes - inch or metric), then call us at 1-800-370-FI.EX or Sales for application advice. | ||
