German Zero-Max couplings, Zero-Max models, Zero-Max prices

Zero-Max couplings are shafts with very low rigidity and elasticity, allowing free bending for transmission. They are used to connect two shafts with different axes, not in the same direction, or with relative motion, to transmit rotary motion and torque. They can flexibly transmit rotary motion and torque to any position. The wire rope consists of 4 to 5 layers of wire spirally wound around a central wire, with adjacent layers having opposite lay directions. It has a structure similar to single-lay steel wire rope, but with a very small lay pitch and a very large lay angle, and the outer layer wires are mostly right-hand lay.

Zero-Max coupling features

1) One-piece metal elastic element; 2) Zero backlash, capable of synchronous operation; 3) Elastic action compensates for radial, angular, and axial misalignments; 4) High torque rigidity and excellent sensitivity; 5) Identical rotational characteristics in clockwise and counter-clockwise directions; 6) Maintenance-free, oil-resistant, and corrosion-resistant; 7) Available in aluminum alloy and stainless steel materials; 8) Main fixation methods are set screw and clamping.

Zero-Max coupling applications

Flexible couplings are made of aluminum alloy. Some manufacturers also offer flexible couplings made of stainless steel. In addition to corrosion resistance, stainless steel flexible couplings also increase torque capacity and rigidity, even reaching twice that of aluminum alloy counterparts. However, this increase in torque and rigidity is partially offset by the increased mass and inertia. Sometimes the negative effects outweigh the advantages, forcing users to seek other types of couplings.

Zero-Max coupling installation and fixation

1) Flexible coupling set screw fixation: Two set screws with a gap of 90º lock onto the shaft. This is a traditional fixation method. Since the tip of the screw contacts the shaft center, it may cause damage to the shaft center or make disassembly difficult. 2) Lingsi flexible coupling clamping screw fixation: Uses the tightening force of hexagon socket head cap screws to contract the slit, tightly clamping the shaft center. This method is convenient for installation and removal, does not damage the shaft center, and is a commonly used fixation method. 3) Flexible coupling keyway fixation: Suitable for high-torque transmission. To prevent axial slippage, it is usually used in combination with set screw fixation and clamping screw fixation. 4) Flexible coupling D-hole fixation: Typically, if the motor shaft is D-shaped, and set screws cannot secure it, the coupling hole can be machined into a D-shaped hole matching the motor shaft size. Combined with set screw fixation, this prevents slippage. 5) Clamping hub fixation: Tightens four set screws on the end face of the Lingsi coupling to compress the clamping hub for secure fixation. Suitable for connecting and fixing high-torque stepper motors and servo motors, such as clamping hub disc couplings, clamping hub jaw couplings, clamping hub bellows couplings, and clamping hub flexible couplings.
