Bellows Couplings Stainless Steel

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.

Bellows couplings stainless steel.

Such hydroformed bellows begin as a sheet of stainless steel or other metal. The couplings are available with three construction options. All have lightweight aluminum hubs and a stainless steel bellows for corrosion resistance. 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.

For torque transmission stainless steel bellows couplings. Couplings allow zero backlash no play and grip evenly around your shaft for a strong hold without marring the shaft. Arcflex are one of the leading manufacturers of stainless steel bellows and expansion joints in the uk. Material bellows clamping hubs and clamping screws made from stainless steel.

This type of coupling generally has high torsional stiffness and may be used in any drive system where high levels of motion integrity are essential. In excess of 10 000 rpm with finely balanced version up to g 2 5. 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. Up to 10 000 rpm.

Properties of bellows coupling model bks. All stainless steel bellows are designed. Our coupling range is available with bore sizes from 2 mm up to 12 mm. If you don t find a standard product that meets your application requirements we can design a custom product for you.

Ruland bellows couplings are comprised of two anodized aluminum hubs and a stainless steel bellows. Bellows couplings are typically made from a stainless steel tube that is hydroformed or in some cases welded to create deep corrugations. And where space is restricted bronze bellows couplings are ideal. With a bellows between two hubs these couplings handle all types of misalignment and are good for precision stepper and encoder motion control applications.

Bellows couplings are a type of flexible couplings with two clamping hubs connected by a series of flexible stainless steel or bronze bellows corrugations. Misalignment compensation with zero backlash. Suited for space restricted installations. Detailed specifications upon request.

Nickel stainless steel and bronze. Flex b stainless steel. This design creates a low inertia zero backlash coupling with long life properties. The thin wall of the bellows allows the coupling to remain flexible under misalignment conditions while maintaining rigidity under torsional loads.

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.
