Bellows Couplings Stainless Steel

We have over two decades worth of experience in the design and manufacture of stainless steel bellows and state of the art on site facilities allows us to offer a wide range of bellows suitable for any application and design requirements.

Bellows couplings stainless steel.

All have lightweight aluminum hubs and a stainless steel bellows for corrosion resistance. The corrugations absorb axial forces that are created by thermal expansion as the motor heats up meaning bellows couplings can handle higher operating temperatures than elastomer couplings. This type of coupling generally has high torsional stiffness and may be used in any drive system where high levels of motion integrity are essential. The thin wall of the bellows allows the coupling to remain flexible under misalignment conditions while maintaining rigidity under torsional loads.

Bellows couplings are typically made from a stainless steel tube that is hydroformed or in some cases welded to create deep corrugations. Properties of bellows coupling model bks. Material bellows clamping hubs and clamping screws made from stainless steel. All stainless steel bellows are designed.

With a bellows between two hubs these couplings handle all types of misalignment and are good for precision stepper and encoder motion control applications. Comprised of two end hubs with set screws or integral clamps that fasten to a shaft our stainless steel bellows couplings utilize hydroformed corrugated flex members to compensate for axial angular and radial shaft misalignment. Our coupling range is available with bore sizes from 2 mm up to 12 mm. Our standard bellows shaft couplings are available in bore sizes ranging from 090 to 625 inches 2 29 to 15 88 mm with maximum torque ratings of 25 to 5000 in oz 0 1 to 19 2 n m.

Up to 10 000 rpm. The characteristics of the bellows coupling can be modified by varying the number and or the wall thickness of the convolutions of the bellows. In excess of 10 000 rpm with finely balanced version up to g 2 5. Bellows couplings are a type of flexible couplings with two clamping hubs connected by a series of flexible stainless steel or bronze bellows corrugations.

And where space is restricted bronze bellows couplings are ideal. The couplings are available with three construction options. Suited for space restricted installations. Such hydroformed bellows begin as a sheet of stainless steel or other metal.

For torque transmission stainless steel bellows couplings. Ruland bellows couplings are comprised of two anodized aluminum hubs and a stainless steel bellows. Nickel stainless steel and bronze. Couplings allow zero backlash no play and grip evenly around your shaft for a strong hold without marring the shaft.

Misalignment compensation with zero backlash. Arcflex are one of the leading manufacturers of stainless steel bellows and expansion joints in the uk. For the highest accuracy nickel bellows couplings. This sheet is draw into a a tube which it then pressurized from within against a ribbed die to form a corrugated shape.
