Metal Bellows Couplings BK- Shaft Couplings design details BK5/BK6
Design: BK5 and BK6 press-fit
metal Bellows Couplings
Due to the press-fit design the complete drive unit can be simply pulled away when servicing is required.
Six self-centering, tapered drive projections (2) have
been formed into the
plastic conical element, which has been deposited onto an
aluminium hub (1).
The six axially arranged projections are configured conically
in a longitudinal
direction (3). The mating piece consits of a metal bellows
with a tapered
female mounting element (4). Absolutly backlash-free torque transmission
is ensured due
to the axial pretensioning (5) of the metal bellows during
its mounting. This
slight pretensioning has no negative influence on the
operation of the metal
bellows coupling or of the shaft bearing.
Material description of the plastic segment:
This is a glass-fiber reinforced plastic of the duromer
group.
With a glass-fiber content of 65% it achives a strength, and rigidity
roughly that of steel.
