For torque transmission stainless steel bellows couplings.
Bellows couplings stainless steel.
Flex b stainless steel.
Our standard bellows shaft couplings are available in bore sizes ranging from 090 to 625 inches 2 29 to 15 88 mm with maximum torque ratings of 25 to 5000 in oz 0 1 to 19 2 n m.
Detailed specifications upon request.
In excess of 10 000 rpm with finely balanced version up to g 2 5.
The couplings are available with three construction options.
Up to 10 000 rpm.
The corrugations absorb axial forces that are created by thermal expansion as the motor heats up meaning bellows couplings can handle higher operating temperatures than elastomer couplings.
This type of coupling generally has high torsional stiffness and may be used in any drive system where high levels of motion integrity are essential.
Ruland bellows couplings are comprised of two anodized aluminum hubs and a stainless steel bellows.
Our coupling range is available with bore sizes from 2 mm up to 12 mm.
Comprised of two end hubs with set screws or integral clamps that fasten to a shaft our stainless steel bellows couplings utilize hydroformed corrugated flex members to compensate for axial angular and radial shaft misalignment.
We have over two decades worth of experience in the design and manufacture of stainless steel bellows and state of the art on site facilities allows us to offer a wide range of bellows suitable for any application and design requirements.
Bellows couplings are typically made from a stainless steel tube that is hydroformed or in some cases welded to create deep corrugations.
This sheet is draw into a a tube which it then pressurized from within against a ribbed die to form a corrugated shape.
Arcflex are one of the leading manufacturers of stainless steel bellows and expansion joints in the uk.
All stainless steel bellows are designed.
Suited for space restricted installations.
This design creates a low inertia zero backlash coupling with long life properties.
Material bellows clamping hubs and clamping screws made from stainless steel.
Misalignment compensation with zero backlash.
And where space is restricted bronze bellows couplings are ideal.
For the highest accuracy nickel bellows couplings.
Couplings allow zero backlash no play and grip evenly around your shaft for a strong hold without marring the shaft.
Bellows couplings are a type of flexible couplings with two clamping hubs connected by a series of flexible stainless steel or bronze bellows corrugations.
With a bellows between two hubs these couplings handle all types of misalignment and are good for precision stepper and encoder motion control applications.
All have lightweight aluminum hubs and a stainless steel bellows for corrosion resistance.
The characteristics of the bellows coupling can be modified by varying the number and or the wall thickness of the convolutions of the bellows.
The thin wall of the bellows allows the coupling to remain flexible under misalignment conditions while maintaining rigidity under torsional loads.
