BACKLASH-FREE LINE SHAFTS COUPLINGS RINGFEDER GWE Z5106.1

Backlash-free Line Shafts Gerwah GWZ 5106.1

Torsionally stiff and flexible line shafts are used in applications where torque and rotational motion combined with the highest possible angular precision should be transmitted or considerable distances between shafts need to be bridged. The application range of line shafts covers almost all technical areas, where mechanical power transmission and stiffness are important: Torsionally flexible line shafts with elastomeric spider, Absolutely backlash-free, Installation length up to 4 m possible, Cost-effective, simple assembly, Maintenance free, Variable length of the intermediate steel or aluminium tube, Backlash-free elastomeric spider, Excellent transmission of torque and compensation of misalignment, Cardanical structure

As for the GWE Z5104.1 this balancing coupling RINGFEDER® GWE Z5106.1 is also used to bridge large shaft separations. The clamping hubs in a half shell structure mean that the known benefits are supplemented by the advantage of single radial assembly on the previously aligned shafts. It comprises two RINGFEDER® GWE 5106, connected by an aluminium precision intermediate pipe. The shaft tolerance should lie within the fit tolerance of ‘g6’ to ‘h7’.

Technical description coupling RINGFEDER® GWE Z5106.1

Every hub on the RINGFEDER GWE Z5106.1 jaw coupling has concave jaws on its face. The function of the coupling to transmit torque and damp impact that occurs, as well as balancing out unavoidable mis- alignments, is enabled through the joining of two hubs and the filling of the created free space with an elastic sprocket. The GWE jaw couplings are backlash-free in order to also achieve a high level of positioning precision in reverse operation. The coupling is backlash-free as a result of the pressure pre-tensioning of the individual buffers in the elastomer sprocket. The different Shore hardness levels, which correlate to the torsional stiffness, mean that it is possible to optimise the entire drive line from the point of view of rotary oscillation. Detailed information is included in the technical data for the sprockets.
