Choosing the right coupling is crucial to ensure precision, durability, and performance in your mechanical system. Here’s a quick breakdown to help you decide:
👉 Need to absorb a lot of misalignment and vibrations?
🔸Go with SPRING-FLEX or PAGU-FLEX. These are great for flexibility and vibration damping.
➡️ SPRING-FLEX: High misalignment + high vibration absorption
➡️ PAGU-FLEX: Same flexibility, but with higher precision and speed
👉 Working with high-speed and high-precision applications?
🔸 Use BELLOW-FLEX or LAMI-FLEX. These offer very high torsional stiffness.
➡️ BELLOW-FLEX: Ideal when you need top precision and high torque
➡️ LAMI-FLEX: More compact, perfect for machine tools
👉 Need something with top torque and minimal backlash?
🔸 Choose CROSS-FLEX or UNION.
➡️ CROSS-FLEX: Excellent torque, very high inertia resistance
➡️ UNION: High precision, but limited misalignment capabilities
👉 Looking for a general-purpose high-performance solution?
🔸 Try ALU-FLEX or POLY-FLEX.
➡️ ALU-FLEX: Good all-rounder with high stiffness
➡️ POLY-FLEX: Better for angular/radial misalignment
