Overview
The Rimtec ADS-150 is a precision servo coupling designed to deliver backlash-free motion control in demanding manufacturing and automation environments. Zero-backlash servo insert couplings compensate for the misalignment that is possible with high load inertias or the fast accelerations of todays high-performance digital and analog servo and vector drives. The 32mm flexible joint design ensures smooth power transmission between servo motors and driven equipment while minimizing wear and vibration.
