New bellows couplinngs for micro applications

A Tandler Precision product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Aug 1, 2000

R+W bellows couplings from Tandler Precision accommodate misalignment in three planes and with the introduction of an even smaller range, micro-applications can now benefit from this proven design.

R+W bellows couplings from Tandler Precision accommodate misalignment in three planes with low restoring forces and promise quiet, uniform operation.

Their credentials also include infinite life and exact transmission of angle and torque.

The MK series within this popular range already meets the needs of drive systems with limited space availability, but with the introduction of an even smaller range, micro-applications can now benefit from this proven design.

Ideal for inclusion in micropumps, manipulators and medical instrumentation, these new micro bellows couplings are suitable for operating speeds in excess of 10,000 rpm.

The outer diameter of the standard product is just 6.5mm and its length, 14mm.

Models in the range include a stainless steel version and also one for vacuum applications.

All models are absolutely backlash-free, will tolerate brief overloads and have a low moment of inertia.

In addition to the standard micro couplings, special versions and combinations can also be supplied.

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.
