The SDP/SI Fairloc® Hub Bellows Coupling, part number S50FP9-FBC12015, features a 0.1200-inch bore and is constructed with brass hubs and phosphor bronze bellows. It is designed to absorb end play in shafts, allowing for looser tolerances in mounting components and correcting for angular and parallel axis misalignment. This coupling provides zero backlash and maintains constant angular velocity while dampening vibration and noise.
The maximum torque rating for this coupling is 120 ozf in, with a maximum angular offset of 5 degrees and a maximum axial motion of 0.433 inches. The suggested clearance fit between the bore and shaft is between 0.0001 and 0.0008 inches. The coupling is equipped with socket head screws made from 300 series stainless steel and has a tin plate finish. Other bore sizes and finishes are available upon special order.
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.
