The S50PLSM0303 is a metric Neo-Flex coupling with 3 mm bores on both ends, designed for shaft-to-shaft torsional vibration isolation and misalignment compensation. It features 303 stainless steel hubs and a molded neoprene center with a durometer of 73, and uses a smooth style ribbed center. The coupling has a maximum angular offset of 8°, a maximum lateral offset of 0.25 mm, and a maximum torque rating of 6.3 N·m. Its overall length is 65.1 mm, with outer diameters of 17.5 mm and 20.6 mm. A set screw hub with a 2 mm diameter set screw secures the shaft.
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.
