Controlflex®
The Control flex shaft coupling has been designed and developed specifically with shaft encoders in mind.. With its unique function element, the shaft encoder coupling offers a high misalignment capacity with minimal restoring forces, and it is electrically insulating between the shafts. Attachment could not be easier with the cleverly designed single cap screw, hard-anodised clamp hubs.
The precise coupling offers:
- Minimal restoring forces
- Electric insulation between shafts
- High radial misalignment (up to 2 mm possible)
- Compact design
- High torsional stiffness
- Torque capacities from 1Nm to 6Nm
The Controlflex® series
There are four basic series
Standard - for all standard encoders and tacho-generators
Impuls Plus - for encoders with maximum accuracy
Compact - the very short design
Industry - for robust industrial encoders with larger shafts
Minimal restoring forces
A structurally strong Aluminium hub and a FEM optimised design of the function element, offers minimal restoring forces in conjunction with high radial misalignment capability up to 2 mm, making it an ideal partner for the shaft encoder.
Electrical insulation
The function element of the coupling is made of Delrin and offers electrically insulating properties – important for electrical potential separation.
Compact design
The function element compensates radial, axial and angular misalignment in an extremely short overall length.
Modular Construction
All bore diameters can be freely combined and supplied.
Balanced Design
The hard-anodised clamp hubs are balanced as standard for high speeds and acceleration.
Individual solutions
It is also worth mentioning that the Controlflex coupling can also be adapted from the standard program. We offer the complete design capability to supply coupling solutions optimised for specific applications. For example for shaft encoder applications:
- Positive locking and fail-safe for stage technology
- With customer-specific hubs for expanding or hollow shafts
- With greater misalignment requirements
