Coupling with expanding shaft connection

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

Introduced with machine tool builders and gear box manufacturers in mind, the latest addition to the Tandler product range is a coupling with expanding shaft connection.

Introduced with machine tool builders and gear box manufacturers in mind, the latest addition to the Tandler product range is a coupling with expanding shaft connection.

Shafts diameters range from 3 to 60mm and the expanding shaft is available from 8 - 60mm; torques range from 0.5 to 300Nm.

This torsionally rigid drive component has been specifically developed to suit hollow shafts or borings.

The expanding shaft is equipped with a tapered element which allows high clamping forces to be applied to ensure reliable operation.

The coupling is a proven Tandler BK2 model which has a clamping hub.

This permits a frictional clamped connection which is backlash-free and will tolerate brief overloads of up to 150%.

The coupling incorporates multi-walled bellows made from highly flexible, high grade stainless steel which effectively dampen vibration.

This design makes them ideal for installation in high dynamic servo drives, NC axes, manipulators and linear units.

In common with all other Tandler couplings, the new expanding shaft models are designed to accommodate axial, lateral and angular shaft misalignment with low restoring forces.

They are maintenance-free and balanced up to 10,000 rpm.

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.
