Designed to grip evenly around your shaft, these couplings provide more holding power than set screw couplings without marring the shaft. Tighten the clamping screws to secure. Good for precision motor and pump applications, the spider-shaped cushion reduces shock and compensates for minor shaft misalignment. Couplings allow zero backlash (no play).

A complete coupling consists of two hubs and one spider (each component sold separately). Hubs are lightweight, corrosion-resistant aluminum. Spiders are polyurethane for fair vibration damping and good chemical resistance.

The included set screw holds the coupling in place. Good for precision motor and pump applications, the spider-shaped cushion reduces shock and compensates for minor shaft misalignment. Couplings allow zero backlash (no play).

Also called double-loop couplings, these have a flexible center that reduces vibration and compensates for high parallel and angular shaft misalignment. They allow zero backlash (no play) and will run smoothly and quietly. Fasten to your shaft by tightening the set screws, which bite into the shaft to hold it.

Stainless steel couplings offer excellent corrosion resistance.

Able to handle high twisting forces as well as misalignment, these couplings are good for high-performance servomotor applications. Couplings are aluminum and stainless steel for corrosion resistance and allow zero backlash (no play). They grip evenly around your shaft for a strong hold without marring the shaft. Tighten the clamping screws to secure.

With a bellows between two hubs, these couplings handle all types of misalignment and are good for precision stepper and encoder motion-control applications. All have lightweight aluminum hubs and a stainless steel bellows for corrosion resistance. Couplings allow zero backlash (no play) and grip evenly around your shaft for a strong hold without marring the shaft. Tighten the clamping screws to secure.

Connect shafts and ball screws to high-speed servomotors and stepper motors—these shaft couplings handle four times more speed than standard servomotor couplings. They’re often found on high-torque motors that frequently start and stop, such as those used with packaging machines, press brakes, and semiconductor manufacturing equipment.

With aluminum hubs joined by a flexible fluoroelastomer or nitrile rubber core, these shaft couplings dampen vibration and adjust for misalignment. When machines accelerate and decelerate quickly, these couplings remain stiff to maintain accuracy and repeatability, which prevents equipment from moving out of place. They also resist backlash, meaning all of the turning force from the motor is passed on to the connected shaft. The core resists water, petroleum-based chemicals, and inorganic acids while also insulating bearings, encoders, and other shaft components from stray electric current. Clamping screws provide hold without marring shafts; they’re useful in applications where shafts are frequently assembled and disassembled.

Each hub includes a set screw (unless noted), which bites into your shaft to hold the coupling in place. Also known as Lovejoy® couplings, these three-piece couplings have a spider-shaped cushion between two hubs to reduce shock and handle minor shaft misalignment.

Buna-N spiders provide good vibration damping and chemical resistance.

Designed to grip evenly around your shaft, these couplings provide more holding power than set screw couplings without marring the shaft. Tighten the clamping screws to secure. Also known as Oldham couplings, they have a slotted disc that allows hubs to slide independently—good for applications with parallel shaft misalignment. They also allow zero backlash (no play) and never need lubrication.

A complete coupling consists of two hubs and one disc (each component sold separately).

Aluminum hubs are lightweight and have good corrosion resistance.

Acetal discs stand up to high twisting forces. Nylon discs have excellent vibration and shock absorption. PEEK discs have excellent impact resistance and the chemical resistance to withstand a variety of acids and other harsh substances.

Install and remove these shaft couplings without disconnecting the shafts, motors, and other attached components—they’re made in two pieces so you don’t need to slide them onto shaft ends. They’re also useful when you have limited access to the ends of the shafts. These couplings clamp onto the shafts, creating a secure hold that won’t mar them. Good for high-torque applications, they have a rigid construction. However, their rigidity means these couplings can only connect shafts that are well aligned.

Steel couplings are stronger and handle higher torque loads than aluminum and stainless steel couplings.
