Elastomer couplings

Flexible yet powerful torque transmission solutions

Elastomer couplings are flexible yet robust elements for torque transmission, developed for a wide range of applications. Within the R+W product range, these couplings offer an ideal solution for both precision and industrial use.

Key Features:

• Flexible element – The elastomer insert absorbs vibrations and compensates for small shaft misalignments (radial, axial, angular), effectively reducing operational noise and shock.
• Zero backlash – The elastomer flexibly adapts to the shafts, ensuring direct, precise torque transmission in positioning and high-dynamic applications.
• Maintenance-free design – No lubrication required and no metal-to-metal contact, resulting in long-lasting, reliable performance with minimal maintenance needs.

Technical Data:

• Wide torque range – Available in versions from compact precision models to industrial-grade units, covering torque ratings up to 25,000 Nm, suitable for virtually any system size.
• Modularity – Easily customizable with various insert materials (different elasticity and hardness), shaft sizes, and connection options for optimal system integration.

Recommended Applications:

• Robotics and machine tools – where precise positioning and feedback are critical.
• Electric drives and rotary systems – the elastomer’s flexibility ensures smooth start-up and dynamic operation.
• Power transmission systems – where vibration damping and noise reduction are essential.
