The S50MHWM50H20H20 is a heavy-duty double disk flexible coupling designed for high torque and zero backlash applications, with stainless steel pins and disks and anodized aluminum hubs and spacer. It accommodates up to 2° angular misalignment at each end, lateral offset of ±0.8 mm, and axial motion of 0.3 mm. The coupling has a rated torque of 7.5 N•m, a maximum speed of 12000 rpm, a torsional stiffness of 2000 N•m/rad, and a moment of inertia of 4.6 × 10⁻⁵ kg•m². It weighs 150 grams and features 20 mm bore diameters on both shafts with an h7 tolerance. The coupling is secured with M5 cap screws.
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.
