Precision Safety Couplings
Safety couplings are used to minimize expensive damage when a collision occurs in a high performance servo drive system. When a collision occurs, the safety coupling will stop the destructive inertial forces instantly and eliminate downtime and repair costs often associated when just an overload relay is used.
features
- Elastomer or Bellows types
- Single point re-engagement preserves drive's reference point
- Direct Drive or Indirect Drive
- Custom bored to your application
