RINGFEDER GWB EKN METAL BELLOWS COUPLING

Backlash-free EKN Metal Bellows Couplings

The 'EKN miniatur' is a backlash-free metal bellows coupling which boasts a very compact shape. The miniature coupling is connected to the shaft by means of radial set screws instead of a clamping hub. The element can be used in many different areas and displays all its advantages when misalignments between driver and driven components have to be compensated.

Ringfeder's 'EKN miniatur' is a backlash-free metal bellows coupling which boasts a very compact shape. The miniature coupling is connected to the shaft by means of radial set screws instead of a clamping hub.

Backlash-free EKN Metal Bellows Couplings are used in the sector of mechanical engineering, where a torque or a rotary motion has to be transmitted from shaft to shaft in highest accuracy of angle: Encoder, Pumps with axial and vertical drives, High dynamic portal drives, Spindle lifting units, Linear units, Packaging machines, Machine tools, Special machines.
