Overview
The RoCom AT000175-C16MM-C.375 flexible beam coupling is a precision motion control component engineered for industrial automation, medical device assembly, robotics, and precision machinery applications. RoCom’s one piece, double taper, multi overlapping, curved beam flexible coupling is the patented result of years of testing. This unit accommodates shaft diameters of 16mm on one end and 0.375″ (9.525mm) on the other, with integral clamp-style attachments for secure mounting.
Key Features
- Double-tapered beam design that is thick at the OD and thin at the ID, with thick sections at the hub end forcing flexing to the center of the beam lengths rather than at the ends where stress concentrates.
- Patented helical curved beam design result of years of testing.
- Beam spacing calculated and cut to allow flex without touching at maximum misalignment ratings.
- Inside diameter relief in the flexible area for thru-bore couplings to prevent shaft contact with beams.
- Clamp-style integral attachments for secure and repeatable shaft engagement.
- Zero-backlash design suitable for precision encoder, motor, and transducer coupling applications.
