The S50FP9MFB102008 is a miniature Fairloc bellows coupling with brass hubs, phosphor bronze bellows, and 300 series stainless steel socket head screws, designed to compensate for angular and parallel misalignment while absorbing end play and dampening vibration. It has bore diameters of 2 mm and 8.5 mm, a total length of 21.5 mm, and socket head cap screws of M1.6 size. The coupling allows a maximum lateral offset of ±0.15 mm, angular misalignment up to 0.3°, and an axial deflection of +0.25 / -0.5 mm with a spring rate of 0.32 N/mm. The bore tolerance is specified as H8, and the design accommodates controlled shaft tolerances per g6, h6, or h6 recommendations.
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.
