The S50FP9-FB120120A is a miniature Fairloc® bellows coupling with 0.120-inch bores on both hubs, designed to accommodate angular and parallel misalignment while transmitting torque with zero backlash. The hubs are made of brass, the bellows of phosphor bronze, and the socket head screws of 300 series stainless steel, with a tin plate finish. It has an overall length of 0.969 inches and uses a #2-56 cap screw. The coupling compensates for lateral offset up to ±0.005 inch, axial motion of +0.010/-0.020 inch, and angular misalignment up to 3 degrees, with a maximum torsional torque rating of 60 ozf-in.
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.
