New Series of 45 Shaft Couplings from Sterling Instrument Feature Fairloc® Integral Fastening System
New Hyde Park, New York - A new series of 45 shaft couplings manufactured by Sterling Instrument in both inch and metric sizes can join shafts of different diameters. This becomes very handy when adding components to existing designs. The couplings feature the patented Fairloc® integral hub fastening system which eliminates marred shafts. The choice of Fairloc® rotating component fastening system helps phase adjustment, timing, position adjustment and frequent removal problems while adding positive metal-to-metal fastening strength along both hub sections. It is compact, self-contained and offers a small coupling hub envelope.
These 303 stainless steel couplings, identified as the S51FCZ Series, feature zero backlash. They are both easy to install and readily adjustable on the shaft. These couplings are designed to fit shafts ranging from .0900" to .2498" (2.5 mm to 12 mm) in diameter. Inch to metric or metric to inch couplings of various diameters available on request.
Each of the two hubs, at either end of the coupling feature the Fairloc® system. It consists of two slots that are machined into the hub, one orientated radially the other angularly, to create a transverse wedge which remains attached to the solid portion of the hub on one side. The resultant cantilevered clamping section has a tapped hole to accept a cap screw which passes through a clearance hole in the solid portion of the hub, and into a threaded hole in the transverse wedge section. As the screw is tightened, the cantilevered section clamps the shaft securely. The socket head cap screw can be tightened and released repeatedly without marring the shaft or affecting its torque transmitting abilities.
