Servo Coupling

Small, zero-backlash couplings for servo motors, encoders and ball screws, so the motor position reaches the load exactly.

  • Size on the servo's peak torque with a safety factor of 1.5.
  • Clamp hubs grip the whole shaft and are kinder to it than set screws.
  • Bellows and disc types are stiffest; Oldham types protect the motor bearings.
