The S50GL2MA25H0808 is a compact antivibration flexible coupling with aluminum hubs and a molded rubber (FKM) center, designed to absorb vibration and maintain torsional rigidity in high-speed servo systems. It features 8 mm bores on both ends and an overall length of 42 mm. The coupling compensates for up to 1.5° angular offset and ±0.2 mm axial motion, with a maximum lateral offset of 0.15 mm. It operates between -10°C and +120°C and has a rated torque of 4 N·m at 25,000 rpm, torsional stiffness of 300 N·m/rad, and an inertia of 3.8 × 10⁻⁶ kg·m². Weight is 40 grams. Shaft tolerances comply with h7: 8 mm bores have a tolerance of 0/-0.015 mm. The design eliminates resonance and enables high gain operation without backlash.
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.
