SPIRAL CUT FLEXIBLE COUPLINGS

AS and AF type couplings (Also known as SS or SC in market) These couplings are widely used and also termed as zero backlash flexible shaft couplings. These are available with metric and inch bores and outside diameters ranging from 12mm (1/2") to 50mm(2"). Couplings in this type are machined from a single peice of aluminium. Several helical cuts are machined into one peice of material. The couplings having length uptp 40mm have single cut beam and couplings having length 40mm and above feature multiple spiral cuts.The multiple cut design provides higher torque capabilities and gently reduced wind-up compared to commodity type single beam couplings.

Why our couplings are No1 in market : The function of every flexible coupling is to transmit power or motion control from one rotating shaft to another that is not perfectly aligned, without excessive bearing loads. But since the requirements for transmitting power are not the same as they are for controlling motion, couplings designed to transmit power might well be unsuitable for motion control and vice versa. For instance, a resilient coupling made with rubber or springs would work well delivering power because it could absorb vibration and/or shock loads, but would not work well controlling motion. In a motion control system, every component in the drive train (including couplings) affects the accuracy of the system by the amount of compliance (Wind-Up), Inertia, Friction, Backlash, etc. the things, which are quite unimportant when transmitting power. A coupling that absorbs vibration must by definition, have Wind-Up, Inertia, or Backlash. Whereas a true motion control coupling must have no Backlash, low Inertia, and very low or zero Wind-Up. Here's what may happen in a typical servo system - Closed Loop, Open Loop, PID Loop, Feed Forward, or what ever: Delay caused by Wind-Up, Inertia, or Backlash. The system must also be free from imbalance, vibration, and oscillation in order to prevent hunting - especially in closed-loop systems where a null balance is established between error signals. Since 1994 MICRON has been building and improving Servo and Encoder Couplings that provide reliability and long life free from maintenance - at moderate cost.
