FAQs: Couplings for Automation Applications

Automation couplings are devices that connect shafts and help transmit torque while providing for misalignment in servo drives and robotic joints, and in other positioning systems. There are different types; rigid couplings are for shafts that are perfectly aligned and have zero backlash, flexible beam couplings compensate for angular misalignment up to 1 degree, bellows couplings give torsional stiffness and misalignment compensation, oldham couplings manage parallel offset up to 5 millimeters, jaw couplings with elastomer inserts absorbing shock loads, disc couplings for high-speed applications up to 20,000 RPM, universal joints for over 30 degrees angular misalignment, and specialty couplings like the torque limiter, brake couplings, and zero-backlash precision couplings designed for encoder mounting

Aluminum 6061-T6 and 7075-T6 are lightweight which reduces rotational inertia by 65% which allows for faster acceleration and deceleration. These aluminum alloys provide adequate strength for 50 Newton-meter torque, excellent machinability, and natural corrosion resistance. Alloy steel 4140 provides maximum torque capacity over 500 Newton meters and provides excellent strength against shock loads. 4140 steel also provides through-hardening, is cost-effective, and is great for industrial applications. 303 and 17-4 PH stainless steel provide corrosion resistance, adequate strength through heat treatment, and non-magnetic properties which makes it suitable for cleanroom and food processing. Engineering plastics, especially Delrin, are cost-effective for low-torque precision applications. Delrin provides lightweight construction, vibration dampening, and provides electrical insulation which is great for woodworking.

Swiss-type CNC turning is capable of creating entire couplings from bar stock in a single operation by creating all external and internal features and threads, barbs, and seal grooves. Precise ISO 594 luer tapers are produced by thread grinding with a 6 percent taper angle. And the thread pitch angle accuracy of ±0.0003 in. Seal grooves are machined for O-rings with grooves of controlled depth and width, 10-25 percent for compression and seal grooves. Cross-drilling creates fluid passages, venting holes, and seal grooves. Electropolishing is used to remove micro-burrs and allow for ultra-smooth internal surfaces to prevent particle entrapment. Laser marking, which is also provided, offers permanent marking for identification that withstands chemical cleaning and sterilization.

We accomplish tolerances on bore diameters of ±.0005 inches to prevent slippage on the shaft, to achieve concentricity of 0.0005 inches between bores to prevent vibration, tolerances on keyway dimensions of ±2.0000 inches for positive torque transmission, perpendicularity to 0.003 inches between bore and face to prevent angular error, and face dynamic balance to Grade G2.5 or better with residual unbalance of < 1 gram-mm/kg. Overall dimensions of ±.005 inches permits proper assembly clearance.
