Metal bellows coupling KP

The multi-layer metal bellows made of certified stainless steel offers high torsional rigidity and compensates for axial, radial and lateral shaft misalignments. The shortened design saves weight, which leads to a lower moment of inertia.

The clamping hub is made of high-strength aluminum to keep the moment of inertia as low as possible. With the innovative Easy-Clamp system, the hubs can be pushed on easily and with sufficient clearance. A single, radially easily accessible screw per hub provides the necessary preload force for torque transmission. This simple yet reliable connection enables the couplings to be assembled quickly, even under difficult installation conditions.

The connection between bellows and hub is made using an optimal, backlash-free brass-wire press-fit method. In contrast to adhesive connections, this joining process is absolutely permanent under critical operating conditions (-40°C to +200°C, chemicals) and ensures that the torque of each individual bellows layer is safely transmitted to the hub.

The KP series is available for nominal torques from 25 to 900 Nm and covers bore diameters from 10 to 75 mm.
