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.
Thanks to this development, even drives with limited space can take advantage of a standard solution for torque overload protection.
The R + W patented operating principle and frictional clamp connection ensure the coupling is completely backlash free.
It is also torsionally stiff and has an extremely low moment of inertia.
In the event of an overload, the degressive characteristics of the disc spring allow speedy disengagement and low residual friction of the clutch.
The new SK range is available in four designs.
The options are the standard, single position version and the multiposition design that automatically re-engages after 45, 60, 90 or 120 degrees.
The load holding model permits minimal rotation and then maintains contact between the drive and driven axes without disconnecting the drive.
The final choice is the free-wheeling version that ensure permanent separation; this must be physically reset in the event of an overload.
Manufactured to ISO9001, these new and easy-to-install couplings now cover an adjustment range of 0.1 to 2800Nm and are suitable for shaft diameters from 4 to 100mm. Request a free brochure from Tandler Precision ...
