Miniature servo couplings

SD005 and SC005 Servo Class couplings are designed to handle the drive and resolution characteristics of ac and dc servomotors, steppers, and ac synchronous motors.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

  • 16 mm diameter, up to 4.43 lb-in. of operating torque
  • Zero backlash, flexible metal stainless discs, and keyless clamp-style mounting hubs
  • Single disc SD005 provides smaller package with greater torsional and axial stiffness
  • Double disc SC005 allows for small amounts of parallel misalignment
