EK Elastomer Couplings

The main advantages of EK Elastomer Couplings include vibration damping, easy installation, zero backlash transmission, and electrical isolation. Whether for machine tools, packaging machines, automation systems, printing machines or general mechanical engineering – the uses for elastomer couplings are as diverse as their requirements.

•Cost Effective Design
•Torques from 2-25,000 N-M
•Flange Mount, Expanding Shaft, Clamp Hub, Set Screw
•Vibration Damping
•Adjustable Length Line Shafts Available
•Thermal & Electrical Isolation(A)
•Conical Clamping Ring Option

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 EK Elastomer 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
