Protection against overload and misalignment
The SKW-KP safety coupling, from Jakob Antriebstechnik, for direct drives is a flexible and backlash-free overload coupling that combines a metal bellows coupling attachment with a safety coupling. As a result, the coupling offers both protection against overload or collisions and the compensation of misalignments.
The safety coupling part offers a cost-effective keyway connection as well as an integrated deep groove ball bearing for high bearing forces. The metal bellows coupling attachment comes with 4-wave bellows and the particularly easy-to-install EASY clamping hub.
It is suitable for torque ranges from 2 to 9000 Nm. In the metal bellows coupling attachment, it can be used for shaft diameters from 6 to 140 mm, the safety coupling part for diameters from 6 to 110 mm.
