Do you need to consider shock absorption and cushioning effects when choosing a coupling?

2022-06-25 09:01

Unnecessary shocks and vibrations in motion control and power transmission applications waste energy and place harmful loads on system components. Shock absorption can help reduce the effects of shock loads and reduce shock to motors and other sensitive equipment. Coupling selection should consider shock absorption and cushioning effects. The zero-backlash plum coupling is a coupling that can effectively buffer and dampen, and is composed of two hubs and an elastic plum elastomer. Plum elastomers are available in a variety of hardnesses to suit different types of cushioning needs. Selecting the wrong type of coupling or the wrong plum elastomer material increases the risk of premature coupling failure, so special attention should be paid.
