Overview
The Ruland Zero-Max CD Coupling Model 6-22 is a composite disc coupling designed to handle precision applications requiring smooth, backlash-free power transmission. This double-flex design provides superior misalignment capacity while maintaining high torsional stiffness, making it ideal for motors, pumps, compressors, and other machinery where shaft alignment cannot be guaranteed. The composite disc construction absorbs vibration and reduces noise while protecting connected equipment from sudden shock loads.
Key Features
- Double-flex composite disc design for superior misalignment capacity
- High torsional stiffness ensures minimal backlash and precise motion control
- Clamp hub connection eliminates keyways and setup time
- Accommodates angular, radial, and axial shaft misalignment
- Compact footprint suitable for space-constrained installations
- Vibration damping reduces system noise and extends equipment life
