Oldham coupling Loewe GK

transmissionmachinesvalves

Articulated like a universal joint, balancing like an Oldham coupling – in a nutshell, the Loewe GK. Compensating for high angular and parallel displacements is its inherent feature. Due to this ability and its additional high axial stiffness, it is ideal as a compensating coupling for torque applications with simultaneous axial forces, for applications with combined pivoting and lifting movements or as a linear coupling for the precise transmission of pure lifting forces. The Loewe GK cardan coupling is the ideal choice for applications in which high parallel and angular displacements occur and need to be compensated for. Due to its high axial stiffness, it enables the absorption of high tensile and compressive forces or the precise transmission of linear lifting forces. Typical application areas for the Loewe GK coupling include: Packaging machines Extremely short format changeover times in the wrapping process for unpacked or prepacked products play a key role in the outstanding system efficiency of horizontally operating bag forming, filling and sealing machines. The Loewe GK’s high radial and angular displacement capacity of up to 2.5 mm and 3 degrees respectively is precisely ideal for the format flexibility needed by packaging machines. Process engineering In process and apparatus engineering, fittings in the form of valves ensure the precise discharge of liquids and gases. Actuators with combined thrust units generate the axial force required to adjust the valve flaps. Through its high axial rigidity, the Loewe GK coupling ensures that any generated pull and push pulses are precisely transmitted.
