announces Simple-Flex

JAKOB Antriebstechnik has introduced the ‘Simple-Flex’ series distance coupling that can be manufactured up to 6m in length and requires no additional intermediate support. The Simple-flex is a composite tube with a multi-layer, angle-specific fiber configuration, which allows for a simple design that works without the otherwise necessary coupling compensation elements on the two tube ends. According to JAKOB Antriebstechnik, this tubing has been developed after elaborate simulation calculations and test series to have flexural flexibility and high torsional rigidity. It is also very low in weight and the associated low moments of inertia is said to be able to guarantee higher operating speeds and torques with smoothness and without neglecting the compensation of shaft misalignments. Simple-Flex is available with either rotationally symmetrical cone clamping ring clamping or with assembly-friendly split hub design. The two available composite pipe sizes cover torque ranges up to 1000Nm. JAKOB Antriebstechnik www.jakobantriebstechnik.de
