New Linear Shaft Supports Available Now!
High Misalignment Couplings
Bellows couplings are flexible devices that provide misalignment compensation for the precision transmission of velocity, angular position, and torque. Ondrives.US’ is a leading designer and manufacturer of motion transfer solutions—our 530 and 540 Series bellows couplings are among the best on the market today! Our bellows couplings are ideal for use in metering valves, positioning slides, pulse generators, scanners, servo drives, and velocity control systems. Order 530 or 540 Series precision couplings for your application, request a quote, or contact Ondrives.US for more information
Bellows Couplings: Misalignment Compensation with Zero Backlash
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. The corrugations in the flex members also absorb axial forces caused by thermal expansion.
Our bellows couplings provide truly backlash-free performance. With a low moment of inertia, minimal restoring forces under misalignment, superior kinematic qualities, and high torsional stiffness, they are the perfect solution for a wide range of motion control applications.
