The S50MFBMS16H05H06 is a stainless steel split hub bellows coupling designed for zero backlash and maintenance-free operation, with bore diameters of 5 mm and 6 mm and an overall length of 26.5 mm. The hubs, bellows, and cap screws are all stainless steel, and the coupling accommodates a maximum torsional torque of 1 N·m, a maximum static torque of 2 N·m, and a maximum speed of 9500 rpm. The torsional stiffness is 150 N·m/rad, with a maximum parallel offset of 0.1 mm, an angular offset of 1.5°, and an axial offset of +0.6/-1.8 mm. The moment of inertia is 8.1 × 10⁻⁷ kg·m² and the weight is 22 grams, based on the maximum bore configuration.
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.
