Flexible couplings absorb pulsations and
shocks
An expanded line of inch and metric size off-the shelf splined sleeve flexible couplings offer torsional resiliency to absorb load pulsations and shocks in instrumentation applications.
An expanded line of inch and metric size off-the shelf splined sleeve flexible couplings manufactured by Stock Drive Products offer torsional resiliency to absorb load pulsations and shocks in instrumentation applications Identified as the A 5Z21, A 5Z22 and A 5Z23 Series, these three part couplings consist of a splined polyethylene or urethane connecting sleeve which mates with the grooves of two moulded acetal hubs - each of which is reinforced with anodised aluminium inserts

The process of selecting small inch size drive components for new prototypes or production applications just became easier.
The torsional resiliency of these couplings is dependent on the length of the connecting sleeve used.
These sleeves can be obtained in lengths up to 12in, and can be cut to size to satisfy overall coupling lengths or resiliency requirements.
The series A 5Z21, A 5Z22, and A 5Z23 couplings can accommodate up to 7 degrees angular misalignment and transmit 0.05, 0.15 and 0.5hp at 1750rev/min, respectively.
It is a unique feature of these couplings that the hub wraps around the sleeve, trapping it in such a manner that its flexibility is retained and the engagement is secure.
The parallel offset a coupling can accommodate is a function of the sleeve length used.
Prices start at just $10.12 with substantial quantity discounts offered.
