FLEXURE FACTS

Solved Application Story # 11

INDUSTRIAL - Servo Motor


THE CHALLENGE

In 1985 a manufacturer of sheet metal fabrication equipment was updating and redesigning their product. Previously they had been using our standard MC7-150 flexible coupling; however, they needed a torsionally stiffer coupling connection with the servo motor. In this redesign they also wished to increase the functions of their system.  


THE SOLUTION

By introducing a set of tangs at one end and a tapered bore at the opposite end, it was possible to shorten the overall coupling length by almost a half inch. In the third revision, a keyway was added plus three tapped holes and a .125" x .250" deep hole. It is not always known why certain features are made to a unit by the customer. The purpose is to enhance the HELI-CAL® Flexure to the best advantage to meet the customer's requirements. This unit improved their product and has been manufactured continually since 1986.


THE ANSWER


HELI-CAL Flexure Flexible Coupling # DS5232
