Coupling is more flexible than standard

Specialist flexure beam helps solve rotational challenges without the cost burden normally associated with special or bespoke made products.
When a rotary application demands unusual shaft attachments or perhaps the design requires a higher degree of angular offset than can be delivered with a standard flexible shaft coupling, Abssac reckons its specialist flexure beam product offers an ideal answer.
The flexure beam is also applicable when an application needs to transmit more torque but there is no chance to change the physical envelope size of the existing shaft coupling.
The product's ability to adapt into applications where others simply cannot follow provides the end user with a means to help solve rotational challenges, without the cost burden normally associated with special or bespoke made products.
Using flawless production techniques, the single-piece construction eliminates any form of friction wear within its design, and ensures zero-backlash operation with no loss of torque.
The specialist flexure, available from Abssac, is specified by six major characteristics: the shaft coupling outside diameter; the shaft coupling inside diameter; flexure/coil thickness; the material used; the number of coils in the flexure area (more coils providing more flexibility); and the number of coil starts (up to three).
By altering these characteristics, torque capacity and both angular and parallel misalignment capabilities can be modified to suit specific specifications and or requirements.
