Servo High-Gain Couplings
High-gain rubber couplings are flexible couplings that transmit torque from machine drive shafts while allowing for misalignment. They are often used for servo systems in semiconductor-manufacturing equipment, mount machines, machine tools, packaging machines, and other automation tools. They help servo motors deliver speed-response frequencies without the problematic effects of vibration.
High-rigidity couplings like disc-couplings have a hard time getting the optimal performance from servo motors. High-gain couplings, however, are designed with aluminum hubs on both sides of an internal rubber structure that prevents backlash while remaining flexible. The servo motor coupling's rubber serves as a durable material that optimizes torsional rigidity and provides vibration absorption.
Benefits of High-Gain Couplings for Servo Motors
In a servo motor system, high gain couplings are often used because of their static torsional stiffness and backlash-free features. Servo systems also benefit from significant reduction of stabilization time and the elimination of occurrences of hunting which can be detrimental to machine-operating equilibrium and affect servomotor control.Servo motors require specific guidelines like gain margins between 10 and 20 dB, and couplings need to be designed to optimize for these conditions. As gain is increased, gain margin decreases and hunting can occur, but high-gain couplings are ideal for this situation. They increase servomotor gain better than disc couplings and provide higher torsional stiffness.
The rubber interior and metal exterior construction of high-gain couplings provide many advantages for servo motor applications. These include:
- Operation with zero backlash
- Elimination of vibration
- Reduction of stabilization time
- Transportation of high torque loads
- Lightweight, compact package
