Features
- ・No sliding parts allow for long-time use without lubrication.
- ・High Torsional Stiffness :Achieve high torsional stiffness and excellent flexibility.
- ・Environmentally Resistant Type :The electroless nickel-plated type and the stainless steel type can be made upon request.
- ・Shaft coupling method :Extensive lineup is available. For details, refer to the following 2 term.
- ・Long spacer type is also available. :Suitable for line shaft drive in combination with miter gearbox. Long Spacer Type Couplings in Stock.
Method of coupling with shaft
-
-
・Key coupling :Applied range NEF02~NEF700
The common key-based coupling method. Keyway couplings of the new JIS normal type machined with standard bores are available for rapid delivery.
-
-
-
・Taper-Lock fastening (Non-backlash ) :Applied range NEF04~NEF25
A friction coupling method that uses special Taper-Lock hubs to achieve high torque in a compact size.
Ideal for servomotor drive.
-
-
-
・Clamp fastening (Non-backlash ) :Applied range NEF02~NEF45
A friction coupling method using a single bolt per hub. The bolts are fastened from the direction perpendicular to the shaft, reducing space in the shaft direction.
-
-
-
・Power-Lock fastening (Non-backlash ) :Applied range NEF04~NEF25
A friction coupling method combining an EL Series Power-Lock with a pressure flange. Combination with the POWER-LOCK of other series is also possible. Contact us.
-
Kind of hub
-
・Standard Hubs
A standard hub that is normally applied.
-
・Extended Dia. Hub
If the transmission capacity has sufficient leeway but the shaft diameter exceeds the maximum bore diameter of a standard hub, there is no need to use a larger size model if you use an enlarged hub with a larger boss diameter (ØH in the drawing below).
-
・Long Hub
If the key contact pressure is too high when using standard hubs, it can be lowered by using extended hubs with an extended hub length (B in the drawing below).
-
・Square hub
A type used by combining an EL Series Power-Lock with a pressure flange set. Taps for pressure bolts are provided.
