Ruland DiscflexTM Coupling

The Ruland DiscflexTM Coupling is designed as a Zero Backlash coupling. They are an assembly of two anodized aluminium hubs, multiple flat stainless steel disc springs and a center spacer for double disc styles. The thin discs allow for a substantial amount of misalignment between shafts while remaining rigid under torque loads. Parallel misalignment is accommodated by the double disc style or by two single disc couplings used in tandem. This results in a high performance motion control coupling with excellent strength and torsional stiffness characteristics, high speed capabilities up to 10,000 rpm, and low inertia for today's highly responsive systems.
 


 

Double disc couplings are used in typical servomotor lead screw applications while single disc couplings can be used when a longer distance is required such as on gantry systems.

The DiscflexTM couplings are offered in standard sizes with outside diameters from 15mm to 57mm in both Nomar® clamp style and set screw style. Bore sizes from 1/8 inch to 1.1/4 inch are available as well as 3mm to 30mm sizes in the metric series.
