Couplings promise a cost-effective
balance
X-Slot shaft couplings bridge the gap and offer a cost-effective balance between couplings that are too stiff radially and those not stiff enough torsionally for servo type applications.
Abssac's X-Slot shaft couplings bridge the gap and offer a cost-effective balance between couplings that are too stiff radially and those not stiff enough torsionally for servo type applications The X-Series coupling incorporates two flexible element sets - combining greater end-to-end rotational accuracy with radial accuracy

New Antibacklash nut design for rolled Acme screws
The new XCT and XCF rolled screw nut designs use a revolutionary Cross Cam design called the Active Cam to eliminate backlash and maintain a high axial stiffness
In durability testing, the couplings have been subjected to parallel offsets of up to five times the rated value and tested to failure.
Even when tested for tens of millions of cycles at these exaggerated offsets the coupling exhibited an exceptional performance capability.
X-Series couplings are available in six outside diameter sizes, from 15 to 50mm and any bore combination between the listed minimum and maximum.
The flexible shaft coupling is available in aluminum or stainless steel and can be ordered with bores that are millimetre, imperial or a combination of the two. Request a free brochure from Abssac ...
