Couplings accommodate substantial
misalignment
Discflex miniature disc couplings comprise an assembly of two anodised aluminium hubs, a centre spacer and multiple flat stainless-steel disc springs to transmit torque.
Discflex miniature disc couplings comprise an assembly of two anodised aluminium hubs, a centre spacer (double disc style only) and multiple flat stainless-steel disc springs to transmit torque The thin discs allow for a substantial amount of angular and parallel misalignment between shafts, while remaining rigid under torque loads

Miniature disc couplings minimise inertia
Ruland Manufacturing Co has expanded its zero-backlash motion control coupling line to include Discflex miniature disc couplings.
This results in a high performance motion control coupling with zero-backlash, excellent speed capabilities up to 10,000rev/min, strength and torsional stiffness characteristics, and low inertia for today's highly responsive systems.
The Discflex miniature disc couplings are available in a single disc style or a double disc style with either an anodised aluminium centre spacer or an electrically isolating acetal centre spacer.
Standard sizes are stocked with outside diameters from 15 to 57.2mm in both Nomar clamp style and set screw style.
A large variety of metric and inch bore sizes from 3 to 30mm are available.
With the introduction of the Discflex, Ruland now manufactures five types of zero-backlash motion control couplings in addition to an extensive line of shaft collars and motion control couplings.
Ruland's motion control coupling offering includes beam, oldham, bellows and jaw types.
