Couplings provide high torsional
stiffness
Zero-Max' CD couplings are designed with new clamp style hubs for increased torque capacity on shafts without using keyways.
Zero-Max has introduced its next generation of CD couplings These couplings feature zero backlash precision and high torsional stiffness for servomotor applications with high reverse loads and positioning requirements

Couplings cut down on inertia
Zero-Max CD couplings with aluminium hubs have low weight and low inertia making them an excellent choice for servomotor and other precision motion control applications.
Manufactured from RoHS-compliant materials, these CD couplings are designed with new clamp style hubs for increased torque capacity on shafts without using keyways.
"CD couplings' disc pack design provides the ideal combination of high torsional stiffness and very high durability", reports Robert Mainz, Zero-Max Sales Manager.
"This is a rare combination".
"Generally speaking, when a coupling has very high torsional stiffness, it becomes brittle and cannot hold up in very dynamic servo systems".
"In contrast, the CD coupling is both torsionally stiff and very durable".
CD couplings handle system speeds up to 17,000+rev/min and have torque ratings up to 10,666Nm.
System designers can select from a large size range and from combinations of inch and metric hub bore sizes to meet exacting servo drive requirements.
The CD couplings are ideal for use in most high-precision applications including packaging machines, pick and place systems, printing machinery, machine tools and most systems using servomotors.
Zero-Max provides a new free 24-page CD coupling brochure with complete ordering information and a new CD ROM with sizing and selection software included.
The CD ROM gives the system designer the CD coupling catalogue in PDF format plus the comprehensive sizing and Selection software and 3D CAD drawings for all of the couplings. Request a free brochure from Zero-Max ...
