Motion Control Couplings

Lovejoy MSF Series is a collection of mini soft set screw style coupling hubs engineered with metric bores for use with metric-sized shafts. The MSF Series hubs provide secure and reliable connections between shafts, ensuring efficient power transmission. They offer easy blind assembly for hassle-free installation. These coupling hubs are designed to absorb shock loads for smooth operation and prevent damage to connected equipment. They offer abrasion resistance for a prolonged lifespan of the coupling hubs and reduce maintenance requirements. These hubs feature zinc alloy construction for increased durability and enhanced performance. They come with a polyurethane insert to absorb shock and offer flexibility.

Lovejoy BWLC Series bellows clamp style couplings provide flexibility, misalignment compensation and torque transmission in various applications, such as motion control systems, robotics, industrial machinery, pumps and compressors. They consist of a steel bellow element and two aluminium / steel hubs that accommodates angular, parallel and axial misalignments between connected shafts while providing high torsional stiffness for accuracy and repeatability. The hubs can be easily mounted onto the shafts with the bellow positioned in between by using screws or clamps and reducing stress / wear on the connected equipment.

Motion control beam couplings are flexible couplings that use either one or more spiral slots cut in a single metal rod piece, thereby forming a spring centre section known as a beam or helical coil. The beam portions of these couplings flex for accommodating misalignments while continuing to transfer power between the attached shafts.
Lovejoy aluminium clamp style single beam couplings are designed for parallel, angular & axial misalignments of shafts requiring less weight & zero backlash. Lovejoy clamp style single beam couplings are recommended for use in light duty applications such as coupling a servo motor to a lead screw in motion control systems.
These single beam couplings have quicker response time as compared to stainless steel couplers. These beam couplings accommodate parallel misalignment up to 0.005 inches, angular misalignments up to 5 degrees and axial motion up to 0.01 inches. These clamp-style beam couplings can either be installed or replaced without the movement of shafts. These Lovejoy single beam couplings feature single piece construction with anodised aluminium finish to provide longer service life in comparison to couplings with moving parts. They are resistant to corrosion and can be operated at a maximum temperature of 200 degrees F.

Ruland Manufacturing MW Series four beam couplings are designed for encoders and tachometers that use delicate components. These devices come with small bearings on the components for low radial forces and efficient performance. They provide extra flexibility to yield reduced bearing loads. MW Series flexible couplings feature a compact design that fits into confined spaces and allows ]easy retrofits in existing equipment. They have a helical cut pattern for providing great torque capabilities and low wind-up. These couplings are made of a single piece of 7075 aluminium for light weight and low inertia or 303 stainless steel for enhancing torque.

Ruland Manufacturing Metric Series single-piece motion control couplings are installed on two shafts moving at the same speed & in the same direction, for preventing misalignment (up to 3 degrees). The balanced one-piece design has 2 sets of three beams in the centre for high torque capacity, lower windup and increased stiffness. Cap screws firmly fit over the shafts, without causing marring on the surface. These couplings are tested beyond DIN 912 12.9 standards for maximum torque capability. Choose from a wide range of motion control couplings, available in aluminium and stainless steel variants on Raptor Supplies.
