The S50FP9-FBC18715 is a Fairloc® bellows coupling with a 0.1875 inch bore, a 0.921 inch overall length, and a 15/32 inch active bellows length, designed to absorb end play, correct angular and parallel misalignment, and dampen vibration while maintaining zero backlash and constant angular velocity. The hubs are brass with tin plate finish, the bellows are phosphor bronze, and the socket head screws are 300 series stainless steel. It supports a maximum torque of 150 ozf·in, up to 1.5° angular misalignment, a lateral offset of ±0.010 inch, and an axial motion of +0.012 / −0.024 inch. The coupling uses a #4-40 socket head screw.
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.
