The S50CLPM381X16X16 is a zero-backlash lattice-type coupling with a 16 mm bore on each end, designed to compensate for angular misalignment up to 7°. It has an overall length of 55.9 mm, an outer diameter of 38.1 mm, and uses M5 x 0.8 set screws. The coupling features 6061 aluminum hubs and high-performance polyamide resin discs, with a maximum torsional torque of 5.6 N·m, a maximum speed of 5000 rpm, a torsional stiffness of 0.46 N·m/deg, a lateral offset capacity of 3.2 mm, and an axial offset capacity of 87.9 mm. Its static weight is 13 g.
Couplings Types
Couplings can be divided into two categories: flexible and rigid. Both types are used to connect two rotating shafts driven by a motor and transmit torque and angular velocity; however, flexible couplings and shafts are designed to accommodate angular misalignment, angular offset, axial movement, and a variety of load conditions. A flexible coupling is pliable due to the twisting and compression of a durable, adaptable material, like neoprene, rubber, or silicone.
Flexibility can also be achieved with thin metal disks, corrugated aluminum bellows (bellows couplings), or even a stainless-steel ball (miniature ball couplings). Some materials can provide vibration reduction, as in our precision flexible antivibration couplings.
Rigid couplings are limited by comparison; rigid couplings are used when shafts are already positioned in precise lateral and angular alignment. Their rigid design inhibits shaft misalignment. They can generally transmit more power than flexible couplings due to their rigidity.
Even the most complicated application challenges can be solved by our skilled engineers, they will identify the best coupling solution for your application. SDP/SI provides a comprehensive range of rigid and flexible couplings. Many of our precision couplings, including the Miniature Bellows Coupling and the Neo-Flex Coupling, have our patented Fairloc® Hub design, which solves phasing, timing, positioning, and frequent removal problems.
