The connection of linear actuators, motors, positioning sensors, electric and pneumatic cylinders to other driven elements is critical. A high degree of angular and parallel alignment is required to prevent binding or wear, while preventing backlash.
The Nexen LC linear coupling has a patented, high-capacity spring system that absorbs parallel misalignment up to 0.7 mm and angular misalignment up to 1.5 degrees. It has zero axial backlash under all operating conditions and is virtually maintenance free.
The Nexen LC linear coupling can be used in a wide variety of precise linear motion application, and is ideal as a replacement for actuator rod ends.
Features include:
Zero backlash in axial direction
Low inertia
Compact design
Designed for high tensile and compressive forces in high dynamic applications
ETP has, through the development of ETP-OCTOPUS, explored the many positive qualities of their hydraulic hub-shaft connections. The most important features are compact design, quick locking, accurate positioning and good runout. The joint should not damage the contact surfaces and must be easy to dismantle.
ETP-OCTOPUS builds on the same principle, but the pressure setting is done with the help of an external pressure source separate from the clamping joint. This makes the pressure setting extremely fast and makes it possible to pressurize several joints simultaneously and remotely.
ETP-OCTOPUS is available in three models C, O and F. Special types are made on customers request.
