Servo Couplings

“Backlash-free” in servo couplings means there is no play or gap between the connected components, ensuring direct and precise torque transmission without delays or energy losses. This feature is crucial for precision drives as it enables exact positioning and control of machine elements. Backlash-free couplings enhance accuracy and repeatability in automation, measurement and control systems, and robotics, where high precision is essential.

Backlash-free servo couplings are primarily used in applications requiring high precision and reliability. These include automation technology, machine tools, medical technology, control and positioning drives, as well as measurement and control engineering. Their ability to ensure precise torque transmission while compensating for shaft misalignment makes them ideal for high-dynamic drive systems, where both precision and flexibility are critical.

Safety couplings are designed to protect drive systems from overload and potential damage by limiting the transmitted torque. When a preset torque threshold is exceeded, they disengage, interrupting power transmission between the connected shafts. This mechanism prevents damage to gearboxes, motors, and other components caused by excessive loads. After an overload situation, safety couplings can either reset automatically or manually, allowing normal operation to resume. They play a vital role in machine and equipment protection across various industries, including packaging technology and mechanical engineering.
