Flexible Couplings

Flexible shaft couplings are a crucial part of motion control assemblies. They are designed to provide accurate motion between two shafts where a small amount of misalignment exists. Failure can have a catastrophic effect on the parent machine, in the form of a total loss of drive or position sensing.

For high integrity, high reliability, accurate positioning applications We recommend Reli-a-Flex™ couplings - engineered to perform in accurate measurement and precise motion control applications.

The one-piece shaft coupling whose unique, patented design not only provides extremely accurate transfer of motion, but also has excellent flexibility characteristics and predictable performance thus provided a high level of enhanced reliability.

The accurate transfer of motion is accomplished by using a unique patented double slit pattern that gives very high torsional stiffness and unsurpassed reliability. In addition, and unlike some spiral beam couplings, the Reli-a-Flex™ shaft coupling introduces negligible radial and axial bearing loads.
