Special Couplings

In addition to the classic servo couplings, Technische Antriebselemente also offers special solutions for unique requirements. Permanent magnet couplings, for example, allow torque to be transmitted without contact. This results in complete decoupling of the drive unit from the driven mechanics. Other special solutions in the Technische Antriebselemente product range are designed to compensate for misalignment during the coupling of two shafts.

  • non-contact torque transmission e.g. through housing walls
  • up to 10° angular shaft misalignment
  • resistance to axial movements
  • Very good compensation of shaft misalignment

Frequently Asked Questions About Special Couplings

Selecting the right coupling requires a thorough assessment of application requirements, including torque capacity, speed range, environmental conditions, and misalignment compensation for radial, axial, and angular offsets. Magnetic couplings are ideal for hermetic applications and overload protection, while Oldham couplings excel in precision positioning tasks with parallel shaft misalignment. Additionally, factors such as zero backlash, maintenance-free operation, and torsional stiffness should be considered to ensure optimal performance.

Along with the special couplings listed on this page, we also offer servo couplings and freewheels in our drive technology portfolio.

Key technical specifications include torque transmission capacity, speed range, torsional stiffness, misalignment compensation (radial, axial, and angular), operating temperature, and material composition. For hermetic separation applications, the properties of magnetic couplings are crucial, while Oldham couplings are preferred for precision mechanics due to their zero-backlash transmission and adaptability.
Yes, couplings can be customized to meet specific application demands. Many manufacturers offer tailor-made solutions, allowing modifications in shaft bore diameters, external dimensions, materials, and special properties such as higher torque capacity or specific hub configurations. This customization ensures that the coupling perfectly matches the drive system, optimizing both efficiency and performance.
Maintenance-free couplings include magnetic couplings and certain Oldham coupling designs, which require no regular maintenance due to their durable construction and material selection. Their long lifespan, reliability, and reduced operating costs make them a preferred choice in demanding applications. Magnetic couplings offer hermetic separation, making them ideal for use in sensitive or hazardous environments where physical contact between drive and driven components must be avoided.
