Bellows couplings

R+W Couplings’ precision bellows couplings are used wherever precise positioning and dynamic movement are required. This can be in medical devices, test benches, wind turbines, servo axes in machine tools, wood processing machines, packaging machines and many more types of high-performance equipment.

Bellows couplings are especially suitable for direct connection between two axes. The metal bellows is the heart of the coupling and captures lateral, axial and angular misalignment with low reaction forces. In addition, the clutch is backlash-free and gives high torsional rigidity. This provides guaranteed accurate positioning of the driven load. And is a bellows clutch excellent for use in highly dynamic cyclic applications, as well as at extremely high rotational speeds.
