BK Metal Bellows Couplings

Where torques as low as 0.05 Nm are to be transmitted and shaft diameters as small as 1mm are to be connected, BK Metal Bellows Couplings from R+W are the right choice. As a result of the trend toward miniaturization – for example, in medical technology, laboratory equipment, and micro-pumps – this product plays an important role in a growth market. Zero backlash miniature bellows couplings are the convincing design solution among precision couplings for size reduced equipment.

•Torques from 2-10,000 N-M
•Flange Mount, Expanding Shaft, Clamp, Set Screw
•Stainess Steel Options
•Zero Backlash, Zero Wear
•Thermal & Electrical Isolation(A) on request
•Low Inertia Options
•High Temp Options

When starting any new automation project, In-Position Technologies engineers start by reviewing the key requirements to determine all necessary components needed in an application. This includes providing recommendations for any appropriate controllers, power supplies, sensors, encoders, bearings, couplings, and any other components needed to fit the application. Our engineers perform all necessary engineering assessments to make sure all components perform properly together, are within customer specifications, and do not come with unnecessary costs.

This includes:

• Payload, reach, speed, cycle time, and repeatability requirement
• Specifying the appropriate feedback device (sensors, vision system, torque sensor)
• Verifying mounting compatibility, form factor checks, etc.
• Ensuring compatibility with the current system
• Ensuring all necessary auxiliary equipment are also specified

When ordering BK Metal Bellows Couplings as a part of a full system, IP Tech engineers review the solution to ensure:

• All parts and fittings necessary for a complete working solution are included
• All components have been checked and verified to work together as a system
• The selected components will perform as required by the project specifications
