Miniature Couplings
|
 |
Zero-backlash miniature couplings provide today's
high-speed, automated manufacturing applications with servo-quality stiffness, low inertia
and an exceptionally long equipment life. Coupled with servomotors, stepper motors or
gearboxes, our lightweight, stainless steel miniature couplings are ideal for machines
with space limitations, and are widely used on encoders, robots, linear slides and other
electrical equipment.
Rimtec's miniature couplings are uniquely designed to compensate for misalignment of the
motor shaft when assembled, and to self-loosen and easily release when disassembled.
Compared to traditional taper locks, this clamping style is extremely cost-effective, as
it achieves highly accurate manufacturing tolerances, reduces bearing wear and machine
downtime, and nearly eliminates the need to inventory replacement drives and other
expensive assembly equipment.
| The line transmits torque from 0.9 lb-in
(0.1Nm) to 89 lb-in (10 Nm) on shaft sizes ranging from 1/32" (1 mm) to 7/8" (22
mm). |
