They feature a stainless steel hubpinned to a stainless steel bellows.Zero Adjustable CouplingsGet the same characteristics as on the bellows typecoupling, except these couplings have an adjustablehub for zeroing synchros and other similar devices.High SpeedsHigh TorqueHigh Ambient TemperatureClean Room EnvironmentStepper MotorsReversing DrivesMaintenance RequiredVacuum Environment (No Lube)CompressibilityElectrically InsulatedFlexible CouplingsThese will isolate vibration, absorb shockloads and electrically insulate. They feature amolded neoprene body connected tostainless steel hubs.Miniature Oldham CouplingsA choice of center block of oil impregnatedbronze or nylon (eliminates metal-to-metalcontact from taking place) between the hubs.Use these couplings in high-torqueapplications.Wafer Spring CouplingsThe choice for your highest torque applicationsand where there is up to 8 o of angularand .03 inches of lateral misalignment.Universal Lateral CouplingsNot only will these couplings provideelectrical insulation, but they can handle upto 10 o angular and .05 inches of lateralmisalignment.Multi-Jaw CouplingsInterlocking teeth permit precision coupling/decoupling with limited transmission errorbetween two stainless steel hubs.Universal Joint CouplingsWorking angles up to 30 oare no problemwhen you use these coupling. Standard ineither Stainless Steel or Delrin.Precision Sleeve CouplingsUse them when coupling shafts of similar ordissimilar diameters. This allows you tocouple inch to inch, millimeter to millimeter,and inch to millimeter shafts.Flexible Zero Backlash CouplingsWork well in high accuracy systems. Stainlesssteel or aluminum one-piece construction withhigh torsional stiffness, constant velocity, andvery low wind up.Flexible K CouplingsAn excellent choice for use in abrasive dustenvironments and where maximum flexibilityis required. The hubs are zinc plated; thebodies are polyurethane.Spider CouplingsThese provide high torque transmissionwithout backlash or vibration due to the use ofa chemically resistant and electrical isolatingelastomer insert.Shaft ExtensionsUsed to add an additional inch of shaft lengthor facilitate a change from special to standardshaft diameter. — See Section 6.7-2Phone: 800-243-6125 ■ FAX: 203-758-8271E-Mail: sales@pic-design.comDESIGN®www.pic-design.comInteractive catalog ■ CAD ■ e-commerceX
