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
Using the TB Woods Form-Flex product for the application, each coupling can transmit a peak torque of up to 176,000Nm through the 250mm bored and keyway hubs.
Suitable for pumps and compressors, the Form-Flex uses cast steel hubs and centre sections that are bolted and then secured together by flexible multidisc steel packs.
The disc packs allow the torque transmission but also compensate for the shaft misalignment.
The design of the shaft coupling lets disc packs be easily changed in service intervals.
Abssac offers a complete design and specification for this product and is working on a project that involves the same size of coupling but with a bespoke 1m diameter flange on the one end.
This will bolt directly on to the input shaft. Request free introductory details about products from Abssac ...
