1 KNOW THE CATALOG Derek Evans Tom Puerling 1 Where are we? Pyramid of Flexure Knowledge Custom Couplings, Assemblies, U-joints Generate-Only Presentations & Seedbox Machined Springs Technical Orientation Catalog Standards Coupling Selection 2

2 Morning Agenda Standard Coupling Choices Special Bore Configurations Afternoon Agenda Engineering Proposal Form (EPF) Standard Coupling Identification 3 Morning Goal By the end of this session Series Characteristics Valid Part Numbers Catalog Familiarity Please Ask Questions 4

3 Why a flexible coupling? Imperfect shaft alignment Reduce bearing loads Lighter duty Longer life Better than a rubber hose! 5 Why a Helical coupling? One piece no moving parts, no lubrication, improved reliability Zero Backlash High-quality Best engineering staff on the planet! 6

4 Applications Ball Tachometers/Encoders/Resolvers Stepper Screws/Lead Pumps Motors/Servo Fans Screws/Actuators Motors 7 Applications Need to connect two shafts 8

16 Basic Part Number W : World Series 7 : Stainless Steel -or- A : Aluminum W7C40-14mmQ5-12K1 C : Integral Clamp 40 : OD Designator (mm) Bore and keyway sizes? (Appendix B & C) 31 W-series Notes 1. Shaft misalignments: Angular: 5 degrees Parallel Offset:.25mm (.50mm T.I.R.) Axial Motion: ±.25mm 2. Dynamic torque ratings are momentary values. For non-reversing applications, divide by 2. Divide by 4 for reversing applications. Should the torque ratings be marginal for your application, contact us for analysis. 3. Material: 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. Finish: clear anodize. or Material: 17-4 PH high strength stainless steel. Finish: natural 32

17 Notes (continued) 4. Manufacturing dimensional tolerances unless otherwise specified are: fraction ±.5mm x.xx ±.25mm 5. Please refer to page 18 for other available bore dimensions. 6. Inertia is based on smallest standard bore diameter. 7. Keyways available on the 40mm and 50mm OD only. 33 Torque Example Specs: 10mm shafts, continuous (non-reversing) operating torque of 1.1Nm, aluminum, clamping What is the complete part number for the smallest W- series coupling that will work? Answer: WAC25-10mm-10mm How? 1.1Nm X 2 (service factor) = 2.2Nm(momentary dynamic torque) 34

18 Torque Example Specs: 10mm shafts, reversing operating torque of 1.1Nm, aluminum, clamp What is the complete part number for the smallest W- series coupling that will work? Answer: WAC30-10mm-10mm How? 1.1Nm X 4 (service factor) = 4.4Nm MIN (momentary dynamic torque) 35 Torque What if my customer only has a MAX motor rating? The actual operating torque may be much less. Try to find a momentary dynamic torque rating at least as high as the MAX motor rating. 36
