FLENDER Standard Couplings
Torsionally Rigid Couplings – SIPEX Series
General
■
Overview
SIPEX couplings are torsionally rigid and backlash-free. They
are characterized by their compact design and high power den-
sity. SIPEX couplings connect machine shafts and compensate
for shaft misalignment that can occur during assembly or
operation.
SIPEX couplings are suitable for all drive applications which
require a coupling that offers positioning accuracy as well as a
reliable, wear- and maintenance-free torque transmission.
■
Benefits
SIPEX couplings are suitable for mounting horizontally, vertically
or in any desired position. The coupling parts can be arranged
as required on the shaft ends to be connected.
The metal bellows are very torsional-resistant and combined
with different clamping connections they ensure an absolutely
angle-preserving torque transmission between the connected
shafts. The moment of inertia is low.
SIPEX couplings compensate axial, radial and angular shaft mis-
alignment with only low restoring forces. SIPEX couplings are
wear-free within their technical limits and therefore offer an un-
limited service life.
■
Application
SIPEX couplings are available in 19 sizes within the standard
catalog range, 7 of which are miniature versions and the other
12 standard designs. Rated torques range from 0.1 to 5000 Nm.
The coupling is suitable for ambient temperatures of between
-30 °C to +120 °C
Couplings manufactured by alternative methods are available
for higher ambient temperatures up to +250 °C.
SIPEX couplings from the standard range are especially suitable
for application in highly dynamic drives such as, for example,
linear axes in machine tools, packaging machines or printing
presses, or generally for automation technology.
SIPEX couplings from the miniature range are designed for use
in combination with rotary encoders, stepper motors or tachom-
eters.
