Elastomer Coupling Offers 25,000Nm Maximum Torque
R and W is introducing a line of high-torque elastomer insert couplings for precision applications that offer a maximum torque of 25,000Nm. Available with split clamping collars or keyway and set screw connections, the three body sizes allow for backlash-free, vibration damping power transmission, paired with strong torque density.
Dual flexture and jack shaft versions are also available for spanning longer distances and compensating for larger misalignments. Unlike the pre-existing range of R and W elastomer couplings, which use a single spider element between the hubs, the new larger sizes will use individual vibration damping compensation elements to fit between each mating set of coupling teeth. The high-torque line of elastomer couplings is available with English and metric bore diameters up to 170mm. R and W will release a catalogue later in the year.
