Line shafts for high speed

A Tandler Precision product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Apr 26, 2000

The couplings at either end of Tandler's new line shaft design feature tapered conical sleeves which provide high clamping forces and a high degree of operating dependability.

The couplings at either end of Tandler's new line shaft design feature tapered conical sleeves which provide high clamping forces and a high degree of operating dependability.

Absolutely backlash-free and torsionally stiff, the new additions to the ZA range of line shafts are available for torques up to 4000Nm.

The new models are suitable for shaft diameters from 5mm to 100mm and for spanning axial distances of between 0.2mm and 6m.

The couplings incorporate multi-walled bellows made from highly flexible, high grade stainless steel which dampen vibration.

The product's design effectively prevents dislocation of the metal bellows allowing the assembly to be used in high speed applications.

The line shafts are suitable for speeds of up to 8,000 rpm, depending on the length selected.

For fast mounting and dismounting, the aluminium intermediate tube section of the new line shaft can be easily removed.

Its couplings have an infinite life and are maintenance-free.

In common with other Tandler coupling products, they accommodate misalignment in three planes and provide exact transmission of angle and torque.

Other Tandler Precision stories

  • ST torque limiters handle huge torques
    R+W's new ST torque limiters, available from Tandler, offer benefits over shear pin and hydraulic alternatives and are smaller than other mechanical torque limiters rated for up to 160,000Nm.
  • Torque limiters keep it clean
    The R+W SK range of torque limiters is characterised by its highly compact and uncomplicated design, patented backlash-free operation and millisecond disengagement.
  • Redesigned gearboxes boast twice the torque
    The new PowerMaster gearboxes are available in three sizes with maximum torques of 300, 640 and 1200Nm and in three ratios per size of 1:1, 2:1 and 3:1.
  • Smaller torque limiters promise longer life
    The latest generation of R + W torque limiters from Tandler Precision are more compact, weigh less and deliver an even longer service life than their forerunners.
  • Elastomer couplings cope with sudden loads
    The major advantage of R+W elastomer couplings is that they transmit high torque with no backlash while accommodating misalignment and dampening vibration.
