Since perfect shaft alignment is impossible, flexible couplings are needed to protect the bearings from destructive side loads.
Flexible Couplings |
- For large series brakes & clutches |
|
When a brake or clutch is foot mounted, and connected to a fully supported shaft, a flexible coupling must be used. Since perfect shaft alignment is impossible, flexible couplings are needed to protect the bearings from destructive side loads. |

We recommend: Zero-Max brand 'CD Double Flex Steel' couplings. High torsional stiffness and tolerance for misalignment makes these a better choice than jaw-type designs. 3 Piece Design 2 hubs and 1 disk. Choose 1 hub to fit the brake or clutch shaft, choose the 2nd. hub to fit your shaft diameter. |
