The S50HAM-125P1616 is a flexible helical coupling with one-piece construction, made from 7075-T6 aluminum and alloy steel set screws, and finished with clear anodizing. It has a bore diameter of 0.500 inch and an outside diameter of 1.25 inches with a length of 2.37 inches. The coupling is designed for non-reversing applications with a maximum dynamic torque rating of 18 lbf·in and a momentary torque rating of 38 lbf·in, and for reversing applications with a torque rating of 1/4 of the non-reversing value. It compensates for up to 5° angular misalignment, 0.030 inch lateral offset, and ±0.010 inch axial motion. The torsional inertia is 6 lbf·in·sec² based on the smallest standard bore. Nonmagnetic and designed for constant velocity operation, it is suited for industrial motor shaft connections.
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.
