Overview
The Rimtec ADS-150 servo coupling is a flexible joint, zero-backlash coupling engineered for high-precision motion control in servo-driven automation systems. Rimtec’s servo insert couplings compensate for misalignment common in high-load inertia and fast-acceleration applications, making the ADS-150 well-suited for demanding manufacturing, robotics, and precision positioning environments.
Key Features
- Zero-backlash servo insert design minimizes play and ensures precise positioning
- Flexible joint accommodates axial, lateral, and angular misalignment within rated limits
- Electrical insulation maintained between coupling hubs for safety in servo systems
- Clamping hub design for easy shaft mounting and secure engagement
- Built for high-performance digital and analog servo drives operating at fast acceleration rates
Technical Specifications
- Shaft surface finish tolerance: Rz ≤16 microns mean peak-to-valley height
- Coupling series: ADS (Servo Insert Coupling)
- Type: Flexible joint, zero-backlash servo insert
- Hub design: Clamping hubs with tension screw tightening
- Misalignment compensation: Axial, lateral, and angular (within rated specification)
- Electrical insulation: Maintained between hubs
- Mounting: Clamping hub assembly on servo motor and load shafts
Typical Applications
- Servo motor-to-load shaft connections in multi-axis CNC and robot systems
- Precision positioning and indexing applications requiring minimal backlash
- Manufacturing equipment with high rotational speeds and acceleration demands
- Automation systems where positional accuracy is critical to end-product quality
- Digital and analog servo drive systems with real-time feedback loops
