Oldham coupling OI series

flange

Advantages: Protects driven component by serving as a mechanical “fuse” – an inexpensive replaceable plastic midsection shears under excess load Protects support bearings by exerting consistently low reactive forces, even under large misalignments Homokinetic transmission – driving and driven shafts rotate at exactly the same speed at all times Zero backlash and high torsional stiffness Electrical insulation Accommodates large radial misalignment in a short length Easy installation in blind or difficult installations when through-bores are used Economically priced compared to other couplings with similar performance characteristics Inexpensive replaceable wear element Low moment of inertia Disavantages: Accommodates a relatively small angular misalignment Typical Applications: Printing and copying machines; robotics and servo applications
