Applications

Bellows couplings are commonly used in robotics, medical equipment, semiconductor manufacturing, and aerospace industries. Bellows couplings can transmit torque and rotational motion while compensating for misalignments, which makes them ideal for applications where high accuracy and repeatability are critical.

Tips: What are the advantages of using a bellows coupling over other types of couplings?

Bellows couplings offer several advantages over other types of couplings:

• Zero backlash: Bellows couplings have a tight fit and can transmit torque without any play, making them ideal for applications that require precise positioning and motion control.
• High torsional stiffness: The bellows design allows for high torsional stiffness, which means that the coupling can transmit torque with minimal deflection or deformation, resulting in accurate and repeatable positioning.
• Compensation for misalignment: Bellows couplings can compensate for axial, radial, and angular misalignments between the shafts, reducing stress on the connected components and extending their life.
• Low moment of inertia: The bellows design results in a low moment of inertia, making the coupling ideal for high-speed applications with frequent starts and stops.
• Corrosion resistance: Bellows couplings are often made of stainless steel, which is highly resistant to corrosion, making them suitable for harsh environments.

Overall, bellows couplings offer a reliable and efficient method for transmitting torque in a wide range of applications, including robotics, automation, medical devices, and aerospace.
