Bellows Couplings Stainless Steel

All stainless steel bellows are designed.

Bellows couplings stainless steel.

The couplings are available with three construction options. The corrugations absorb axial forces that are created by thermal expansion as the motor heats up meaning bellows couplings can handle higher operating temperatures than elastomer couplings. The characteristics of the bellows coupling can be modified by varying the number and or the wall thickness of the convolutions of the bellows. Bellows couplings are typically made from a stainless steel tube that is hydroformed or in some cases welded to create deep corrugations.

We have over two decades worth of experience in the design and manufacture of stainless steel bellows and state of the art on site facilities allows us to offer a wide range of bellows suitable for any application and design requirements. Properties of bellows coupling model bks. This sheet is draw into a a tube which it then pressurized from within against a ribbed die to form a corrugated shape. For the highest accuracy nickel bellows couplings.

Comprised of two end hubs with set screws or integral clamps that fasten to a shaft our stainless steel bellows couplings utilize hydroformed corrugated flex members to compensate for axial angular and radial shaft misalignment. Arcflex are one of the leading manufacturers of stainless steel bellows and expansion joints in the uk. Nickel stainless steel and bronze. Our coupling range is available with bore sizes from 2 mm up to 12 mm.

Bellows couplings are a type of flexible couplings with two clamping hubs connected by a series of flexible stainless steel or bronze bellows corrugations. Suited for space restricted installations. Detailed specifications upon request. This design creates a low inertia zero backlash coupling with long life properties.

Couplings allow zero backlash no play and grip evenly around your shaft for a strong hold without marring the shaft. All have lightweight aluminum hubs and a stainless steel bellows for corrosion resistance. With a bellows between two hubs these couplings handle all types of misalignment and are good for precision stepper and encoder motion control applications. Flex b stainless steel.

Misalignment compensation with zero backlash. Material bellows clamping hubs and clamping screws made from stainless steel. Our standard bellows shaft couplings are available in bore sizes ranging from 090 to 625 inches 2 29 to 15 88 mm with maximum torque ratings of 25 to 5000 in oz 0 1 to 19 2 n m. Ruland bellows couplings are comprised of two anodized aluminum hubs and a stainless steel bellows.

In excess of 10 000 rpm with finely balanced version up to g 2 5. If you don t find a standard product that meets your application requirements we can design a custom product for you. And where space is restricted bronze bellows couplings are ideal. The thin wall of the bellows allows the coupling to remain flexible under misalignment conditions while maintaining rigidity under torsional loads.

For torque transmission stainless steel bellows couplings.
