(pressebox) (Kleinwallstadt, 28.06.2021) Elastomer couplings are plug-in, backlash-free and flexible shaft couplings for all small and medium torques up to 2000 Nm. The connecting and compensating element is a plastic star with involute teeth and a high Shore hardness. This is inserted positively, with a slight preload, into two high-precision manufactured hubs with claw-shaped cams. The elastic coupling star can compensate for slight shaft misalignments, is electrically insulating and has good vibration damping properties. There are several standard variants with backlash-free, force-fit shaft-hub connection to choose from, which guarantee reliable torque transmission even without an additional feather key. The EKM, ESM-A and EKH series are available in the standard program; individual solutions are also possible on request.
