Miniature Flexible Couplings feature zero backlash.
Offered in sizes as small as Ã-¼ in. diameter for shaft sizes down to 3.32 in., one-piece Flexible Couplings can transmit torque in angular, parallel, and/or skewed modes. Units are available in aluminum, stainless steel, or plastic. They can be used in precision engineering applications and are especially able to accommodate tight or skewed connections.

Single-piece, flexible couplings compensate for angular and skewed misalignment, parallel offset, and axial motion. Performance characteristics include no maintenance, no backlash, no lubrication, constant rotational velocity, and smooth bearing loads. Couplings are manufactured with ODs from 3/8-3 in. and in metric ODs of 15, 20, 25, 30, 40 and 50 mm, and inch and metric bore sizes may be...

Beam Couplings provide fatigue resistance.
Machined from solid piece of 17-4 PH stainless steel, Beam Couplings can transmit torque through 5Ã-º if required, and operate in temperatures up to 600Ã-ºF. General purpose Series H and Series W are suited for pumps, lead screws, and positioning systems. Series MC offers higher torque capacity and torsional stiffness with 2 sets of flexures. Series H accommodates shaft sizes from...

Machined Springs utilize flexible coupling technology.
Utilizing flexible coupling, helical beam technology, machined springs use flexible helix beam (flexure) as torsion or compression-extension spring. Customer-specified end attachments that can be integrated into one machined spring include clamps, tangs, flanges, or threaded ends.

U-Joints have no backlash and no moving parts.
One piece universal joints can accommodate angular misalignments up to 90 deg. They also compensate for axial and parallel misalignment, while keeping velocity constant. Because of 1-piece, flexure construction, U-joints are able to maintain constant radial load at all points of rotation. They do not require lubrication.
