Bellows coupling GWB AKD

compactmetal bellowstransmission

The production series 'AKD' offers the traditional metal bellows coupling which can be used for a wide range of applications. Its core characteristics are the backlash-free transmission of torque, high torsional stiffness, and excellent compensation of angular, axial and radial misalignments. Operational safety and easy assembly are two more factors speaking in favour of AKD. Characteristics Backlash-free transmission of torque High torsional stiffness, precision of transmission of rotational angle Different torsional stiffness Compact design, low moment of inertia Metal bellows made of stainless steel Simple and safe assembly Compensation of radial, axial and angular misalignment Free of wear, maintenance-free, no downtimes Not sensitive to temperatures between -30°C and +100°C Advantages 100% inspection and traceability through individual marking Higher torques at same dimensions Compact design Extended bore ranges Customer-specific solutions Higher safety in application, e.g. no wrong screw tightening torques Backlash-free Metal Bellows Couplings are used in the sector of mechanical engineering, where a torque or a rotary motion has to be transmitted from shaft to shaft in highest accuracy of angle.
