Disc coupling by definition, transmits torque from a driving to a driven bolt tangentially on a common wikt bolt circle bolt circle . Torque is transmitted between the bolts through a series of thin, stainless steel discs assembled in a pack. Misalignment is accomplished by deforming of the material between the bolts. A disc coupling is a high performance motion control Servo coupling designed to be the torque transmitting element by connecting two driveshaft shafts together while accommodating for Shaft alignment shaft misalignment . It is designed to be flexible, while remaining Torsion mechanics torsionally strong under high torque loads. Typically, disc couplings can handle speeds up to 10,000 Revolutions per minute RPM . There are two different styles of disc coupling class wikitable Single Disc Style couplings are composed of two hubs the ends of the coupling, which are typically made from aluminum, but stainless steel is used as well and a single, flat, stainless steel disc spring. Double Disc Style coupling is also composed of two hubs, but has an additional center spacer sandwiching two disc springs. The center spacer can be made out of the same material as the hubs, but is sometimes available in insulating acetal, which makes the coupling electrically isolating. The difference between the two styles is that single disc couplings cannot accommodate parallel misalignment due to the complex bending that would be required of the lone disc. Double disc styles allow the two discs to bend in opposite directions to better manage parallel offset. The discs are fastened to the hubs and center spacer on double disc styles with tight fitting pins that do not allow any play or backlash between the disc and the hubs. The discs can be bent easily and as a result, disc couplings have some of the lowest bearing loads available in a motion control coupling. Torsionally stiff and still flexible, disc couplings are a great solution for high speed applications. The downside is that they are more ... more details
