The S50HAA-050H0404 is a split hub flexible helical coupling for non-reversing applications, with a 1/2 inch bore, 0.125 inch hub thickness, and 0.75 inch length. It has a momentary torsional torque rating of 3.5 lbf·in and a torsional deflection of 78.1 lbf·in per degree. Constructed from 7075-T6 aluminum with a clear anodized finish, it features one-piece design, integral clamp, shaft relief, and nonmagnetic properties. It compensates for up to 5° angular offset, 0.010 inch lateral offset, and ±0.010 inch axial motion. The coupling uses a #1-72 cap screw and has a moment of inertia of 30.6 × 10⁻⁵ lbf·in·sec² based on the smallest standard bore. It is rated for non-reversing applications, where torque capacity is one-quarter of the reversing rating.
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.
