Miniature ball couplings accommodate up to 15° angular misalignment and axial motion, operating at high speeds with low backlash (1°-2°) and low friction loss. The S58PY5-MJC1632 variant features a 0.500 inch bore, nylon center for electrical isolation, and a 1-7/8 inch length. It supports maximum torque of 1600 oz·in at 5000 rpm with 11°-15° angular offset and a 0.25 inch axial motion allowance. Units have molybdenum disulfide and grease lubrication, stainless steel end sections, and a #1/4-20 set screw. Four-ball-race construction provides increased torque capacity. No voltage, temperature, or environmental ratings are provided.
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.
