TOOLFLEX® coupling is a torsionally stiff, flexible metal bellow coupling with a stainless steel bellow and aluminium coupling hubs, which compensates perfectly for axial, radial and angular displacement. Thanks to its geometric shape, the TOOLFLEX® coupling has excellent torsional stiffness and a low mass moment of inertia.
The connection between the bellow and the hub is dependent on its size.
Properties:
Backlash-free, torsionally stiff metal bellow coupling
Maintenance-free
Non-fail-safe
Ambient temperatures up to 200° C are possible (depending on the size)
Torques from 0.1 to 600 Nm
Couplings for drive technology, automation, medical technology, packaging technology and machine tools
Please refer to the respective data sheet for more detailed properties of the individual couplings.
