Elastomer couplings are pluggable, backlash-free and flexible shaft couplings. The connection and compensation element consists of a plastic spider with involute teeth and a high Shore hardness. This elastic coupling spider is electrically insulating and has good oscillating damping behavior. It is inserted form-fitting and slightly preloaded into two claw-shaped hubs with high precision.
The company Jakob Antriebstechnik based in Kleinwallstadt has various elastomer coupling variants in its product range, which can be put together as desired by means of a modular system. Custom-made products are also possible.
The coupling EKM comes with a radial clamping hub on both sides as a cost-effective, compact standard series. It covers torque ranges from 8 — 2000 Nm and shaft diameters from 8 — 90 mm.
