How to choose the right servo coupling for high-torque applications

When selecting a high-torque coupling, it is critical to understand all factors to make the right choice. Torque and misalignment capabilities, speed requirements, and spatial constraints – matching high-torque applications with the ideal servo coupling demands careful consideration of these factors.

This article sheds light on the critical attributes of each coupling type and provides a comprehensive comparison, guiding designers towards the right fit for their application's specific demands.

Slit couplings are ideally suited for applications that require precise positioning and demand a balance of torque, stiffness, misalignment, and high-speed capabilities. This combination of performance characteristics makes them a suitable interchange for couplings such as single-disc couplings, which have misalignment and speed limitations.
