Couplings for every application
Couplings or connecting shafts are machine elements that connect individual components within a system, e. g. engine, gearbox and prime mover.
There are a large number of different types of couplings on the market, such as safety couplings, pneumatic safety couplings, metal bellows couplings, spring bar couplings, elastomer couplings and many others.
These perform various tasks such as: damping shocks and vibrations, separating and restoring the power flow, compensating for radial, axial and angular misalignment, limiting torques, interrupting the drive when the maximum torque is exceeded, etc.
HA-CO offers you customized solutions for all applications. Thanks to our own manufacture, we are able to respond to any special requests.
What are the types and applications?
Safety coupling
A safety coupling protects driving machines from damage that can be caused, for example, by blocking or overloading of the driven working machines. The clutch separates both sides of the drive train in the event of an overload and thus prevents damage to the drive elements.
Application areas
- Woodworking machines
- Milling machines
- Automation systems
- Industrial robots
- Sheet metal working machines
- Printing Machines
- Textile machines etc.
Pneumatic safety couplings
Pneumatic safety clutches work with compressed air technology and limit the torque exactly to the specified value via the air pressure. This prevents downtime and damage in the event of overload.
Application areas
- Packaging systems
- Filling systems
- Automation systems
- Textile machines etc.
Metal bellows couplings & precision couplings
Metal bellows couplings are torsionally stiff couplings, also known as servo couplings, corrugated tube couplings, bellows couplings, miniature couplings or torsionally stiff couplings.
They are used for precise transmission of the angle of rotation. By compensating for radial, axial and angular misalignments, the rotary motion is transmitted backlash-free from one shaft end to the other.
Misalignments on the shafts caused by manufacturing and assembly inaccuracies, as well as thermal expansion and other deformation, are compensated for by the laterally, angularly and axially flexible metal bellows. The main difference to rigid couplings is that no unacceptably high bearing loads occur with bellows couplings, which can be the case with rigid couplings.
Basically, the various types of couplings differ in the following factors:
- Size
- Material
- Type of shaft-hub connection
Keyways and the like are generally not necessary. The couplings have a metal bellows made of stainless steel, are easy to assemble, wear- and maintenance-free and extremely compact.
Application areas
- Automation technology
- Manufacturing Technology
- Servo and Scritt motors Drive technology
- Impulse generator
- Speedometer shafts
Elastomer Couplings & Claw Couplings
The elastomer coupling is used for damping shocks and certain vibrations as well as for compensating misalignments in lateral, angular and axial misalignments.
Depending on the requirements, an elastomer with a high degree of damping (low torsional stiffness or hardness) is used for highly vibrating systems or strong shocks and an elastomer coupling with low damping properties (high torsional stiffness and hardness) is used for small vibrations or light shocks.
Elastomer couplings from HA-CO are low-wear and maintenance-free. Speeds up to 30,000/min can be achieved by fine balancing. For high loads and speeds, the elastomer is reinforced with fabric made of textile or metal threads. Most elastomer couplings are electric. HA-CO couplings also feature maximum precision due to their backlash-free torque transmissions, even in delicate applications, and will never let you down.
Elastomeric couplings guarantee maximum performance and highest precision applications for any field.
Application areas
- Verpackungsmaschinen
- Automatisierungsanlagen
- Druckmaschinen
- Industrieroboter
- Steuerungs- und Positioniertechnik
- allgemeiner Maschinenbau
Spring bar couplings & all metal couplings
The spring bar coupling is a torsionally rigid compensating coupling which ensures angularly accurate power transmission. It is also known as a slotted coupling or all-metal coupling.
The slotted structure makes it possible to compensate for axial, radial and angular shaft misalignment. In addition, it not only exhibits unconditional stability at the highest speeds and a low mass moment of inertia, but also enables maximum torsional stiffness during dynamic load changes. The spring plug-in coupling consists of only one component and therefore has a low mass moment of inertia.
Application areas
- Antriebstechnik
- Fördertechnik
- Automotive
- allgemeiner Maschinenbau uvm.
