Floating shaft couplings

ZERO-MAX has released the floating shaft CD couplings, said to provide system designers with a torsionally stiff option for connecting long distances between shaft ends.

According to the company, the couplings have a unique flex element made of composite material, making it possible to have zero-backlash, high torsional stiffness and low bearing loads. The composite material is designed to be flexible in one plane and stiff in another plane.

Custom designs are available with torque ranges from 30Nm to 63,000Nm and with speed ranges from 500rpm to 15,000rpm. They are available in custom lengths from 46″ to 196″ and with outside hub diameters of 2.25″ to 12″.

The couplings are suitable for applications including, high speed package inserters, automated shingle manufacturing systems, printing, paper converting and packaging systems.
