The S58PY5-MJC0614 is a miniature ball coupling designed to accommodate angular misalignment up to 15°, axial motion, and lateral offset while maintaining constant velocity and low friction at high speeds. It has a nylon center for electrical isolation, a 7/16 inch bore, an outside diameter of 0.4375 inch, a length of 0.875 inch, and uses a #4-40 set screw. It supports a maximum torque of 150 oz·in at 5,000 rpm with 11° to 15° angular offset and axial motion of 0.05 inch. The coupling is rated for low backlash of 1° to 2° and is lubricated with molybdenum disulfide and grease.
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.
