Bellows shaft coupling

Key product advantages are

• Backlash free operation
  
• Easy to install
• Torsionally stiff
• Maintenance free
• To suit shaft sizes from 5mm to 55mm
• Suitable for high temperatures up to 280C
• Corrosion resistant
  

Bellows shaft couplings deliver, high torsional rigidity, due to the bellows’ radial rigidity, and low side thrust due to the bellows’ lateral flexibility. Other coupling types have either low windup or low side thrust, but not both.   Precision motion control applications require mechanically tight systems, especially between motors, driven loads, and feedback devices, to ensure accurate positioning. Such systems often require shaft couplings that are both torsionally rigid, to accurately transmit rotational position and laterally flexible to accommodate shaft misalignment. By the nature of the bellows design, these application requirements can be confidently mastered.

Bellows Only (without hubs) Available in Nickel or Stainless Steel

Bellows shaft couplings are  used to connect two shafts together  for the purpose of transmitting torque.

Bellows with hubs (hubs available in Aluminium , Stainless steel or Steel in set screw or clamp style fixing designs)
