The Control-Flex® Coupling C231P from Zero-Max is designed for high-performance applications, particularly suitable for encoders. It features a clamp-style hub that provides a secure shaft connection and allows for easy installation. The coupling is engineered to accommodate high levels of parallel, angular, and axial shaft misalignment while minimizing side loads on bearings and seals. This model boasts a zero backlash design, ensuring precise torque transmission and angular velocity. The lightweight construction contributes to reduced inertia, making it ideal for applications requiring efficiency and responsiveness. The C231P coupling also includes an electrically insulating flex element, enhancing its versatility in various environments. With a maximum continuous torque rating of 435 in-lb and a peak torque rating of 650 in-lb, it supports robust performance in demanding conditions. Engineers considering this coupling should note its maintenance-free operation and the potential for increased lifespan of connected components due to its unique design that reduces reaction forces compared to traditional flexible couplings.
Schmidt Control-Flex® Couplings offer better solutions for today's power transmission requirements Control-Flex® couplings are available with clamp-style "zero" backlash hubs or in a drop-out design for easy flexible disc changeout.
The Schmidt Control-Flex® Coupling was developed to satisfy the higher performance requirements of today's modern power transmission drives. To meet this goal, Schmidt Couplings engineered a unique Control-Flex® Disc which is based on a parallel linkage system.
Because of these features, the reaction forces due to transmission of torque and unavoidable shaft misalignments are considerably smaller when compared with common flexible couplings.
