Overview
The Zero-Max 20260622 is a precision composite disc flexible shaft coupling from Zero-Max, a leader in motion control power transmission solutions since 1989. Zero backlash composite disc couplings from Zero-Max are designed for applications requiring the highest performance, constructed to perform under demanding operating conditions involving repetitive speed changes, stopping, reversing, indexing, and misalignment. This 6-22 single-flex model delivers superior performance for servo motors, machine tools, and precision automation systems.
Key Features
- Single composite disc with zero backlash design provides smooth and accurate operation at any speed, including high speed reversing applications
- Single-flex composite disc couplings provide the highest torsional-stiffness and accommodate high angular misalignment and limited parallel misalignment
- Accommodates angular, axial, and parallel misalignment and eliminates issues related to fatigue and fretting seen with metal disc models
- No maintenance intervals are planned for all standard composite disc couplings
- High chemical resistance combined with a wide temperature range from -57 °C to 121 °C and electrically insulating properties
Technical Specifications
The 20260622 6-22 coupling is engineered for demanding precision applications. Composite disc couplings accommodate high speeds, large shaft misalignment, and eliminate fatigue and fretting often seen in metal disc models, in a compact and maintenance-free design. Standard configurations include steel, aluminum, or stainless-steel hub options with clamp style or set-screw style connection methods. The patented composite disc pack construction provides consistent performance over billions of flexural fatigue cycles.
