These couplings for servo stepping motors boast high damping performance.Our newly developed laminated rubber element (HNBR) achieves high damping and low reaction force. They absorb vibration faster than flexible couplings that use metal in their elastic components. This suppresses the resonance phenomenon that can occur with stepping motors.
Excellent damping performance
Damping performance exceeds that of metal disc spring couplings, easily suppressing resonance, which can be a concern with stepping motors.
Shaft reaction force is reduced
Shaft reaction force caused by misalignment is greatly reduced by a laminated element construction that sandwiches hard rubber with soft rubber in the elastic component. This also greatly lessens the load on bearings and the like.
Simple, reliable, no backlash
Since the clamp method is used to couple to the shaft, mounting can be completed by tightening one bolt each on left and right.Clamp hubs are strong against vibration and shocks, couplings are reliable, and there is no backlash.

*Check the Max. Torque for the Shaft Diameter list as there may be limitations on the standard and maximum torque caused by the holding power of the coupling shaft section.
*The max. rotation speed values do not take into account dynamic balance.
*The static torsional stiff ness values are analysis values for the element taken at a temperature of 20°C at maximum bore diameter.

*Check the this list as there may be limitations on the standard and maximum torque caused by the holding power of the coupling shaft section.
*The Max. limit-received torque is a torque value of the small diameter side (d1). However, only in the case that STF-019SA1's d1 or d2 is φ8mm does the clamp bolt size down, so the limiting value is 0.8N・m. Please keep this in mind.
