For use in spe­cial high-speed test stands tor­sion­al­ly rigid, flex­i­ble cou­plings are ide­al­ly suit­ed. The thin met­al bel­lows have in addi­tion to the bal­anc­ing, also vibra­tion-damp­ing prop­er­ties. The high flex­i­bil­i­ty of the KSD cou­plings from Jakob with its 6‑wave bel­lows and the easy mount­ing option of the cou­pling through the use of cone bush­es as shaft-hub con­nec­tion guar­an­tee a safe trans­mis­sion of all forces and torques, even with small shaft diam­e­ters and with­out addi­tion­al feath­er key.

The rota­tion­al­ly sym­met­ric design ensures excel­lent, dynam­ic oper­at­ing behav­ior, even at very high speeds. The high tor­sion­al rigid­i­ty and the very low restor­ing forces with shaft mis­align­ment as well as the low moment of iner­tia char­ac­ter­ize the cou­pling type. Torques from 10 to 4000 Nm are pos­si­ble. High­est qual­i­ty pro­cess­ing and the mate­ri­als used make the KSD cou­plings a reli­able and eco­nom­i­cal component.

It is used, in addi­tion to the test stands as a high­light­ed exam­ple, also par­tic­u­lar­ly often in ser­vo and actuators.
