Fairloc® Neo-Flex coupling S50FLRM0506 is a ribbed-style shaft-to-shaft coupling with 5 mm and 6 mm bore sizes, designed for torsional vibration isolation and misalignment compensation. The hubs are made of 303 stainless steel, and the center is molded neoprene with a durometer of 73. The coupling has an overall length of 67.3 mm, with l1 and l2 lengths of 7.5 mm each, and uses an M2.5 screw for mounting. It permits a maximum angular offset of 8° and a maximum lateral offset of 0.25 mm, with a maximum torque capacity of 1.27 N·m. The coupling requires shaft tolerances of g6, h6, or h7.
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.
