Backlash-free servo couplings transmit the torque with zero backlash even with alternating directions of rotation, i.e. the torque is transmitted from one shaft to another without displacement. This is achieved through the use of a spider.
ROTEX® GS
ROTEX® GS are three-part axial plug-in couplings, which are backlash-free under pretension and cannot fail to impress with their backlash-free torque transmission, ideally adapted stiffness and optimum vibration reduction even in critical applications. Its easy-toinstall and production-optimised installation options make the ROTEX® GS a frequently used coupling.
The straight toothing of the pre-tensioned spider results in lower surface pressure and thus greater stiffness of the coupling system. The flexible teeth are radially supported by a web on the inside diameter when absorbing displacement. This prevents too great inward or outward deformation of the ROTEX® GS with excessive acceleration or at high speeds, ensuring its outstanding operation and durability.
Properties:
- Backlash-free, vibration-reducing jaw-type coupling
- Axial plug-in
- Maintenance-free and electrically conductive
- Fail-safe
- Couplings for machine tools, automation, power transmission, medical technology and packaging technology
Please refer to the respective data sheet for more detailed properties of the individual couplings.
