The MK Series of miniature bellows couplings mounts in a variety of configurations, including “blind-mate,” the simple plug-in installation of motor and gearbox shafts. The coupling’s stainless-steel bellows compensate for axial, lateral, and angular-shaft misalignments simultaneously, without backlash. The balanced couplings operate to 20,000 rpm, with optional balancing up to 100,000 rpm.

Available torque ranges are 0.5 to 10-Nm (4 to 88.5 lb-in.) with bore diameters of 1 to 28 mm, with or without keyways.
