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 factors should be considered when selecting a bellows coupling?

When selecting a bellows coupling, there are several factors that should be considered to ensure it is suitable for the intended application. Some of the key factors to consider include:

• Torque and Speed Requirements: The torque and speed requirements of the system will determine the size and type of bellows coupling that is needed. It is important to choose a coupling that can handle the maximum torque and speed of the system.
• Misalignment: Bellows couplings are designed to compensate for misalignment between shafts. The amount of misalignment that the coupling can accommodate will depend on the type and size of the coupling. Make sure to choose a coupling that can accommodate the required level of misalignment.
• Temperature: The operating temperature of the system will affect the material choice of the bellows coupling. Bellows couplings can be made from a variety of materials including stainless steel, aluminum, and titanium, each with its own temperature limitations.
• Corrosion and Chemical Resistance: If the system is exposed to corrosive or chemical environments, it is important to choose a bellows coupling that is resistant to these conditions. This may require a different material choice, such as using a corrosion-resistant alloy.
• Electrical Isolation: In some applications, electrical isolation between shafts may be required. In this case, a bellows coupling made from an insulating material may be necessary.
• Vibration: The level of vibration in the system can impact the life of the coupling. Choosing a bellows coupling with a high level of torsional stiffness can help to minimize vibration and extend the life of the coupling.
• Cost: Finally, the cost of the coupling should be considered. Higher quality couplings may have a longer life and require less maintenance, which can ultimately result in cost savings over the lifetime of the system. However, the initial cost of the coupling may be higher.
