Backlash-free and compact Elastomer Couplings by R+W

Function: The equalizing element of an EK coupling is the elastomer insert. It transmits the torque without backlash and vibration. The elastomer insert defines the features of the entire coupling and/or of the entire drive system.

The coupling is backlash free due to pretensioning of the elastomer insert between the two coupling halves.The Servomax-Coupling compensates for lateral, angular and axial misalignment.

electrically conductive*

* Due to the electrically conductiv properties of the insert electrostatically charge of the coupling is prevented. This eliminates sparks during normal operation (Explosive areas). Technical datas available.

The values of the relative damping were determined at 10 Hz and +20˚C.
