Antivibration flexible couplings are designed to reduce vibration and hunting in servo systems while maintaining torsional rigidity and zero backlash. The S50GL2MA19H series features aluminum hubs and a molded rubber (FKM) center for vibration absorption and electrical insulation. The S50GL2MA19H08E6 variant has bore sizes of 6.35 mm and 8 mm, an overall length of 34 mm, and accommodates maximum angular offset of 1.5°, lateral offset of 1.5 mm, and axial motion of ±0.2 mm. It operates from −10°C to +120°C with a rated torque of 2.1 N•m at 33,000 rpm and torsional stiffness of 210 N•m/rad. The coupling weighs 20 grams based on the maximum bore size.
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.
