(pressebox) (Kleinwallstadt, 01.02.2017) JAKOB Antriebstechnik now offers two new stainless steel couplings as standard series.

The metal bellows coupling KGH-VA as well as the distance coupling WD-VA, which both are manufactured in the extremely easy-to-assemble split-hub design. Assembly and disassembly of the couplings are no longer a problem even in cramped installation conditions. The fixed hub halves are placed on the shaft and screwed with the loose half-shell pieces. Especially in the case of fixed shaft journals, the service case can mean that the drive and / or output unit have to be dismantled in a complicated manner, which thus isn’t necessary anymore. Thanks to the stainless steel construction, they are also ideally suited for applications in the food sector.

The KGH-VA series is wear-resistant and maintenance-free, can be used up to 350 ° C, has a shaft diameter of 7-85mm, torque ranges from 10 to 1200Nm and is available in a variable overall length with 2 or 4-corrugated bellows.

The WD-VA distance coupling is available in variable lengths up to 3m and offers a backlash-free torque transmission. It can also be used at temperatures of up to 350 ° C and includes shaft diameters of 9-90mm at torque ranges of 7-1000Nm.
