Bellows Couplings Stainless Steel

Ruland bellows couplings are comprised of two anodized aluminum hubs and a stainless steel bellows.

Bellows couplings stainless steel.

Up to 10 000 rpm. If you don t find a standard product that meets your application requirements we can design a custom product for you. 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. Our coupling range is available with bore sizes from 2 mm up to 12 mm.

Nickel stainless steel and bronze. Suited for space restricted installations. All have lightweight aluminum hubs and a stainless steel bellows for corrosion resistance. This sheet is draw into a a tube which it then pressurized from within against a ribbed die to form a corrugated shape.

Arcflex are one of the leading manufacturers of stainless steel bellows and expansion joints in the uk. Such hydroformed bellows begin as a sheet of stainless steel or other metal. For torque transmission stainless steel bellows couplings. And where space is restricted bronze bellows couplings are ideal.

Bellows couplings are a type of flexible couplings with two clamping hubs connected by a series of flexible stainless steel or bronze bellows corrugations. Material bellows clamping hubs and clamping screws made from stainless steel. For the highest accuracy nickel bellows couplings. 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.

Detailed specifications upon request. In excess of 10 000 rpm with finely balanced version up to g 2 5. Bellows couplings are typically made from a stainless steel tube that is hydroformed or in some cases welded to create deep corrugations. 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.

Misalignment compensation with zero backlash. The thin wall of the bellows allows the coupling to remain flexible under misalignment conditions while maintaining rigidity under torsional loads. The characteristics of the bellows coupling can be modified by varying the number and or the wall thickness of the convolutions of the bellows. Properties of bellows coupling model bks.

This design creates a low inertia zero backlash coupling with long life properties. Flex b 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. With a bellows between two hubs these couplings handle all types of misalignment and are good for precision stepper and encoder motion control applications.

The couplings are available with three construction options.
